A joint team of Assam Rifles and Manipur Police raided a location in the town of Moreh in Manipur along the border with Myanmar and found large quantities of narcotics estimated to be worth over Rs 700 Crore.
One trafficker of Myanmar origin was apprehended by the team. The narcotics team found approximately 54 kg of Brown Sugar and 154 kg of Methamphetamine (Ice Meth).
Narco-terrorism is a major source of finance for the Indian terrorist groups based in Myanmar and has umbilical cord linkages with other players in this illegal trade.
This is seen as a source for fuelling terrorism in the region.
