Tripura Police arrested one and seized over 90 kilograms of cannabis (ganja) from a Madhupur-bound vehicle at ONGC area on Wednesday.

The police stated that they received a crucial tip-off, on the basis of the tip-off police personnel from Amtali Police station laid a trap and intercepted the Madhupur bound vehicle bearing numbered TRO1 BB 0562. Upon checking the vehicle, police officials found over 90 kilograms of cannabis (ganja) hidden inside five sacks. Police have arrested the driver identified as Dissaw Nama, resident of Madhupur. The vehicle was coming from Agartala side towards Madhupur along with the Ganja, said cops.

Some young people are taking their lives to the brink of extinction, like heroin and brown sugar. Being addicted to drugs, they are also involved in various anti-social activities. Unable to raise money for drugs, some are organizing thefts at various homes and shops, which has led to an increase in thefts.

However, Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha has called on Tripura to get rid of drugs. Police are seizing crores worth of heroin, brown sugar, cannabis (ganja) and arresting traffickers, but the real kingpins remain out of reach, which is why the state is not moving towards a drug-free state despite so many anti-drug campaigns.
