Acting on intelligence regarding illicit narcotics cultivation, the Assam Rifles, in collaboration with the CRPF, Manipur Police, and Forest Department, launched a joint anti-narcotics operation in the Sadim Hill Range of Senapati district. The operation focused on area domination and systematic searches of suspected sites, resulting in the discovery and destruction of illicit poppy cultivation spanning 8 acres, which could have yielded approximately 58 kilograms of opium valued in crores. This action significantly disrupts local drug trafficking networks. Furthermore, the operation led to the destruction of two makeshift huts, irrigation pipes, a spray pump, and a water container found near the cultivation area. The Assam Rifles reaffirmed its dedication to combat narcotics and protect the youth and community from drug abuse’s harmful effects.
