Acting on a tip-off, the team set up a mobile check post at Zokhawthar village in the Champhai district and intercepted a vehicle. Upon searching the vehicle, they found heroin concealed in small pouches and arrested the driver.

The successful operation serves as a major blow to the drug trade in the region, as authorities continue to work towards eradicating illegal activity and keeping the citizens safe.

As investigations continue, the team remains vigilant and committed to its mission to prevent the illegal drug trade from entering the country.
