Massive Phensedyl Seizure Foils Smuggling Operation

A major bust by the Border Security Force uncovered 62,200 bottles of Phensedyl cough syrup worth Rs 1.4 crore hidden in underground storage tanks near the India-Bangladesh Border in West Bengal. The operation is aimed at combating smuggling activities in the area.

The Border Security Force's recent operation thwarted a significant smuggling attempt near the India-Bangladesh Border, leading to the seizure of 62,200 bottles of Phensedyl cough syrup.

According to a statement released on Saturday, the seizure, valued at Rs 1.4 crore, was made following a tip-off and intensive raid carried out in Majdia town, Nadia district.

This discovery is viewed as a major disruption to smuggling activities in the region, with storage tanks cleverly concealed under dense vegetation and haphazard structures. Authorities are delving deeper into the network of individuals involved.
