Mizoram's Battle Against Drug Trafficking: A Comprehensive Operation Begins

The Mizoram government, in collaboration with civil society groups, launched a large-scale operation against drug trafficking and abuse, focusing on securing borders and raising awareness. This initiative, led by Home Minister K Sapdanga, involves a highly trained police squad and aims to combat the growing drug problem through targeted enforcement and community engagement.

The Mizoram government launched a significant operation on Monday to tackle the escalating issue of drug trafficking and substance abuse in the state, an official announced.

Spearheaded by a 30-member police squad in coordination with the Young Mizo Association (YMA), community leaders, and other laws enforcement entities, the operation will intensify surveillance along the India-Myanmar and inter-state boundaries until December, he noted.

Home Minister K Sapdanga initiated the campaign, dubbed “Operation Against Trafficking and Use of Drugs and Narcotics in Mizoram,” in the presence of Excise and Narcotics Minister Lalnghinglova Hmar in Aizawl.
