Agartala: Feb 15: The Sonamura Police have made a significant breakthrough in their crackdown on drug trafficking, recovering brown sugar worth approximately Rs 6 lakh near Madhuban Naka Point, Sonamura. This operation was made possible by a tip-off, which led the police to set up a checkpoint and intercept the suspected smuggler .
