Assam Police Seize Heroin Worth Rs 6 Crores, Arrest Three
Police in Assam, a state in India, are working hard to stop drugs.
Recently, during a nighttime raid in the Cachar area, they caught three people who were trying to smuggle drugs.
They found a significant amount of heroin, about 1.2 kilograms, which they believe is worth around 6 crore rupees.
The heroin was wrapped in colorful plastic.
The Chief Minister of Assam praised the police for this success, mentioning it's part of a larger effort called #AssamAgainstDrugs.
This campaign aims to stop drug trafficking, especially since Assam is located near countries like Myanmar and Manipur, which are often used for smuggling drugs.

1.2 kg of heroin, valued at approximately Rs 6 crores, was seized.
