Operation White Veil: DRI, Customs, Assam Rifles and Manipur Police Seize ₹55 Crore worth Heroin, Opium and Walkie Talkies

In a major joint operation code-named "White Veil," the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Customs, Assam Rifles, and Manipur Police have seized a massive consignment of narcotics and other contraband worth Rs 55 crore. The operation, conducted in the border regions of Manipur, successfully intercepted a smuggling network, leading to the seizure of significant quantities of heroin, opium, and foreign-origin walkie-talkie sets. This successful crackdown is a major blow to drug trafficking syndicates operating in the Northeast, which is often used as a transit route for illegal narcotics from the Golden Triangle. The coordinated effort of multiple agencies was crucial to the success of the operation. This seizure highlights the persistent threat of narco-terrorism and the continuous efforts by Indian law enforcement and security forces to dismantle these networks and secure the country's borders from illicit trade and anti-national activities.
