Agartala: Jan 11: During a routine inspection at Jirania Railway Station, authorities discovered a suspicious unclaimed baggage. Upon inspection, it was found to contain 01 trolley bag and 04 pitthu bags. The contents of these bags included 57 packets, which were later identified as 67 kg of dry ganja. This contraband was seized after observing all legal formalities, as the bags were determined to be unclaimed.
The total market value of the seized ganja is estimated to be approximately 6 lakh 70 thousand rupees. Following the discovery, the Agartala Government Railway Police (GRP) has initiated an investigation to identify the owner of the illegal consignment and determine the source and intended destination of the ganja.
The operation was carried out as a collaborative effort between the Agartala Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Agartala GRP. Their coordinated efforts in monitoring and checking luggage helped prevent a significant quantity of illicit drugs from reaching the market.
This successful operation highlights the vigilance of law enforcement agencies in curbing the trafficking of illegal substances. The authorities are now working to gather further intelligence and evidence to trace the origins and network responsible for this illicit consignment. The investigation will play a crucial role in dismantling drug trafficking operations in the region.
The seizure of 67 kg of dry ganja not only marks a significant achievement for the local law enforcement agencies but also underscores the ongoing efforts of the Agartala RPF and GRP to maintain public safety and prevent the flow of narcotics in the area.
