In January of this year, a joint operation by the Customs division and the Assam Rifles led to the discovery of foreign cigarettes worth Rs 1.57 crore in Mizoram's Tlangsam hamlet, according to an official release.

Acting on specific information, a team consisting of Assam Rifles and Champhai from the customs department conducted the operations. The Assam Rifles squad found the items that had been abandoned in the Champhai district's General Area Tlangsam hamlet and on Zokhawthar Melbuk Road.

The seizures were made on January 17 during two separate operations along the Indo-Myanmar Border, according to the official release.
