Manipur Police carried out a major drug disposal exercise on September 27, destroying large quantities of narcotics at the Shija Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility in Lamdeng, Imphal West.

The seized drugs included 6 kilograms of heroin powder, 87 kilograms of brown sugar, 22 kilograms of WY tablets, 36 kilograms of pseudoephedrine, 182 kilograms of ganja, and smaller amounts of SP capsules.
