The paramilitary Assam Rifles seized contraband worth about ₹2.08 crore during two separate operations in Mizoram, according to Northeast Today.
Assam Rifles, the Indian Army’s paramilitary wing, carried out two coordinated raids in Mizoram that resulted in the seizure of contraband valued at roughly ₹2.08 crore. The operations, conducted in different locations within the state, targeted illegal trade networks that have long been a concern for security forces along the northeastern border.
Officials from the Assam Rifles said the seized items included goods that are prohibited under Indian law, though the exact nature of the contraband was not disclosed. The total monetary value of the haul underscores the scale of smuggling activities that the force aims to curb.
The successful interdiction reflects ongoing efforts by security agencies to strengthen law‑enforcement in the region and to deter future attempts at illicit trafficking. No arrests were reported in the brief, and the seized assets are expected to be handed over to the appropriate civil authorities for further processing.
