In a major crackdown on cross-border narcotics smuggling, troops of Border Out Post (BOP) NC Nagar, on 27th Feb 2005, under Sepahijala district, detected suspicious movement of Indian smugglers attempting to transport illicit items across the Indo-Bangladesh border. Upon being challenged by BSF personnel, the smugglers abandoned the consignment and fled toward the Indian side.
A thorough search of the area led to the recovery and seizure of 20 packets containing 20,000 Yaba tablets, valued at ₹2 crore. Additionally, BSF troops seized other contraband items worth ₹16,80,910 from different locations along the Indo-Bangladesh border in Tripura.
The BSF has significantly intensified its vigilance and operational efforts to combat the rising trend of narcotics smuggling. Recent months have seen multiple successful interceptions, demonstrating the force's unwavering commitment to border security.
The seized contraband has been handed over to the Customs Department for further legal action. The BSF remains steadfast in its mission to safeguard the nation's borders and contribute to a drug-free society.
