“Yaba dealers thought Cachar was a safe hideout, but Assam Police ensured it was game over for them,” Sarma said in a statement, adding that the operation resulted in an estimated loss of around Rs 3 crore for the drug mafia. Reiterating the state government’s zero-tolerance policy towards narcotics, the Chief Minister stated that Assam remains firmly committed to building a drug-free future and will continue to intensify operations against drug trafficking and abuse.
Yaba tablets, commonly known as “crazy drugs,” contain a combination of methamphetamine and caffeine. Due to their highly addictive and harmful nature, the tablets are banned in India. Authorities have indicated that further investigation is underway to identify other links in the drug supply chain.
