In a significant operation, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) at Jirania Railway Station, Tripura, successfully apprehended a drug peddler and seized 200 packets of ‘Yaba’ tablets. This marks yet another major success in the fight against illegal drug trafficking in the state. The seizure occurred during a routine inspection of trains at the station, where officers found the drugs concealed in the suspect’s bag.
The smuggler, a known individual in drug trafficking circles, had attempted to transport the illicit substance through the railway network. Yaba, a combination of methamphetamine and caffeine, is a dangerous drug that has wreaked havoc in many states across India, including Tripura. Authorities are taking swift action, working closely with local and national law enforcement to curb the rising drug trade in the region.
The operation at Jirania Railway Station serves as a reminder of the persistent threat posed by drug trafficking in the northeast and underscores the commitment of Tripura’s police force in ensuring the safety of its citizens.
