In a resolute effort to combat the drug menace plaguing the state of Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took to Twitter to commend the proactive actions of the Special Task Force (STF) Assam and Tinsukia Police. In a tweet, CM Sarma shared his support for the ongoing #AssamAgainstDrugs campaign and applauded the law enforcement agencies for their recent operation.

The STF Assam and Tinsukia Police collaborated to execute a successful drug bust operation at Gandoiguri Tiniali, Tinsukia. The operation resulted in the seizure of a substantial 700 grams of heroin concealed within 57 soap cases. Additionally, the authorities confiscated a sum of Rs 13,950 in cash and five mobile phones believed to be linked to illicit drug activities. Furthermore, the operation led to the apprehension of three individuals suspected of being involved in the drug trade.

Chief Minister Sarma's endorsement of the Assam Police's diligent efforts to curtail the drug trade in the region underscores the government's unwavering commitment to creating a drug-free Assam. The #AssamAgainstDrugs campaign has gained significant traction on social media, with citizens and leaders alike voicing their support for a drug-free Assam.

In his tweet, CM Sarma commended the Assam Police, stating, "Good work @assampolice. Keep it up!" This gesture of recognition not only motivates the dedicated law enforcement officers on the ground but also sends a powerful message to those involved in the illegal drug trade that their activities will not go unchecked.

The successful operation in Tinsukia is a testament to the coordinated efforts of law enforcement agencies in Assam and their resolve to tackle the drug problem head-on. It serves as a reminder that Assam is resolute in its mission to combat drug-related issues that affect the well-being and safety of its citizens.

The seized heroin, cash, and mobile phones are now in the custody of the authorities as investigations continue to uncover the full extent of the drug network operating in the state. The three apprehended suspects will be subject to rigorous interrogation as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle drug trafficking networks.

With Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's active support and the unwavering dedication of law enforcement agencies, Assam is making significant strides in its fight against drugs. The #AssamAgainstDrugs campaign stands as a beacon of hope in the battle to create a safer and drug-free Assam for all its residents.
