Imphal, April 2: Intelligence-based joint operations conducted from March 1 to March 31, 2026, by IndianArmy and AssamRifles formations under SpearCorps, in coordination with local police, led to significant drug recoveries across districts in #Manipur, #Mizoram, #ArunachalPradesh, and #Assam.

The operations targeted Thoubal, Bishnupur, Chandel, Cachar, Churachandpur, Champhai, Changlang, and Tengnoupal districts, focusing on disrupting drug trafficking networks and preventing narcotics inflow into civilian areas.
As a result, forces seized approximately 2.74 kg of heroin, 32,266 WY/Yaba tablets, and other illicit substances.

The operations involved coordinated raids, intelligence surveillance, and targeted interdictions, ensuring minimal collateral disruption while maximizing enforcement impact. Security officials highlighted that the collaboration between military and police units enhanced operational efficiency and community safety.
Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to continued vigilance and proactive action against drug trafficking networks, emphasizing that joint operations will remain a key tool to secure border areas and safeguard youth from narcotics-related harm.
The success of these March operations underscores the Indian Army and Assam Rifles’ dedication to maintaining law and order in sensitive border districts while supporting civil administration efforts in combating organized crime.
