Agartala, May 06 (FD) In a major crackdown against drug trafficking, North Tripura Police seized 60,000 YABA tablets at Churaibari Gate during the time of entry to the state of North Tripura. The approximate cost of the seized drug is around Rs. 6 crore, making it one of the biggest drug seizures in the state's history.

 Superintendent of Police Bhanupada Chakraborty said “Three people from Sonamura and Dhanpur have been arrested in connection with the case. A Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances case has been registered at Churaibari Police Station, and investigations are underway to uncover the entire network involved in this drug racket”.

This is the highest seizure of drugs in a single incident, surpassing last year's record of 5,500 kg of ganja seized in Mungiakami, which remains the biggest seizure of any drug in the state.

The Tripura Police has been conducting regular raids to clamp down on drug trafficking and has appealed to the public to come forward with any information related to such illegal activities. FD SB JK
