In a major anti-narcotics operation, Assam Police seized 963.19 kilograms of ganja worth nearly Rs 3 crore from a container vehicle at Srirampur, along the Assam–West Bengal border. 

The bust follows a similar seizure from a tourist bus just days earlier.

Led by Gossaigaon SDPO and Simultapu Outpost Officer Ritwik Kashyap, the operation targeted a suspicious air-conditioned vehicle (Reg No: UP 25 DT 9280), which was intercepted during a checkpoint search.
