Meanwhile, in a major breakthrough, Assam police launched an extensive operation in the dense forests of Jagun, near the Arunachal border, not to apprehend militants, but to dismantle a thriving drugs mafia network. 

Four individuals have been arrested with a substantial quantity of illicit drugs, leading to the uprooting of a notorious drug base nestled in the Tinkupani forest area.
