55 Kg Cannabis Seized at Guwahati Railway Station, 3 Held

Guwahati: Three persons were arrested after the Guwahati Government Railway Police allegedly recovered 55 kg of cannabis from Guwahati Railway Station , according to a report on Wednesday. The seizure was made during a checking operation conducted by a GRPS team at the railway station. The suspected cannabis was reportedly found in the possession of the three accused, following which they were taken into custody. According to the initial report, the latest seizure comes amid stepped-up action by Assam Police and other enforcement agencies against the illegal transportation and distribution of narcotic substances across the state. The report said police and enforcement agencies have increased checks and targeted operations at railway stations, highways and other important transit points to prevent the movement of drugs. As a major transport hub connecting Assam with other parts of the Northeast and the country, Guwahati has remained an important focus of such operations. Authorities have also intensified surveillance and interception efforts as part of the state’s wider campaign against drug trafficking and substance abuse. The latest seizure has also highlighted the use of transportation routes for allegedly moving illegal drugs. Police have launched a further investigation to determine where the seized cannabis came from, where it was allegedly being taken, and whether other people were involved in the suspected supply network. Further details are awaited as the investigation continues. Also Read: Assam: Akhil Gogoi Appears in Kaliabor Court Over Kaziranga Eviction Protest Case
