There was a ‘treasure’ hidden in 77 soap boxes, when the police opened them there was a ruckus

Guwahati/Morigaon. India shares its borders with many countries. The borders with some countries are so inaccessible that fencing is very difficult there. Many states of Northeast share their borders with countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar, Bhutan, China. The border areas of these states are surrounded by hills, forests and rivers. In such a situation, these areas become a suitable hideout for smugglers. Indian security forces continuously patrol these areas so that any kind of smuggling can be stopped. Banned items from other countries are first smuggled into the country’s border and then sent to other parts of the country from there. Assam Police has exposed one such case.

According to the information, two people were arrested in Morigaon district of Assam on Wednesday and heroin worth more than Rs 1.57 crore was seized from their possession.

In Assam, such action has been taken from time to time by the local police and paramilitary forces. Action has been taken against smugglers by the local administration on secret information.
