State police forces, backed by central agencies, confiscated narcotics and weapons during coordinated raids in Assam and Manipur.
Police teams from Assam and Manipur, working together with central law‑enforcement agencies, carried out simultaneous raids in several locations across the two states. The operations resulted in the seizure of illegal narcotics and a cache of firearms, though exact quantities were not disclosed at the time of reporting.
Authorities said the joint action was part of an ongoing crackdown on organised crime networks that traffic drugs and illicit weapons in the Northeast region. The seized items are expected to be forwarded to forensic labs for verification and further investigation.
Senior officials from both state police departments briefed the media, emphasizing that the coordinated effort reflects heightened inter‑state cooperation to curb the flow of contraband. No arrests were reported in the initial statement, and investigations are continuing to identify the sources and distribution channels involved.
