DRI Seizes Red Sanders Worth ₹6.26 Crore

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) stopped a group of people from smuggling a special kind of wood called red sanders.

This wood is protected by law and can't be sold or taken out of the country easily.

The DRI found 15 metric tons of this wood in different warehouses in Chennai.

They also caught four people who were involved in this illegal activity.

The wood was worth a lot of money, about ₹6.26 crore.

The DRI found the wood hidden in boxes labeled as household items to trick authorities.

The wood is special and protected because it's listed in important environmental laws.

The DRI did a good job by finding and stopping this illegal activity.
