Itanagar, June 29: In a significant development in the ongoing fight against drug abuse, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu took to Twitter to announce another success in combating the drug menace in the state.

He praised the efforts of the Arunachal Pradesh Police and the Directorate of General of Assam Rifles (DGAR) for their joint operation that resulted in the seizure of 197.6 grams of brown sugar and the apprehension of three drug peddlers in Zedua village, located in the Longding district of the state.

Sharing the news with his followers on Twitter, Chief Minister Pema Khandu expressed his satisfaction with the outcome of the operation. He wrote, “Another success in the drive to check the drug menace in the State. Today, @ArunachalPolice in a joint operation with @official_dgar seized 197.6 grams of brown sugar and apprehended three drug peddlers at Zedua village in Longding district. Good work.”

The tweet of the CM highlights the continuous efforts being made by the state authorities to combat the growing drug problem in Arunachal Pradesh. The joint operation conducted by the Arunachal Pradesh Police and the DGAR demonstrates the effectiveness of collaboration between law enforcement agencies in tackling drug-related crimes.

The seizure of 197.6 grams of brown sugar is a significant accomplishment in the fight against drug trafficking. Brown sugar, a highly addictive and potent form of heroin, poses a serious threat to public health and safety. Its seizure not only prevents its distribution and consumption but also disrupts the illicit drug trade network operating in the region.

Furthermore, three drug peddlers have been apprehended with regard to the case. The apprehension strengthens the resolve of the authorities to crack down on those involved in drug trafficking. By arresting individuals responsible for the distribution of narcotics, law enforcement agencies aim to dismantle the drug supply chain and reduce the availability of drugs in the state.

The successful operation in Zedua village serves as a testament to the commitment and dedication of the Arunachal Pradesh Police and the DGAR in ensuring the security and well-being of the citizens. Their relentless efforts, coupled with intelligence gathering and proactive measures, have played a crucial role in combating the drug menace.

The recognition given by the Chief Minister for the good work carried out by the law enforcement agencies not only acknowledges their achievements but also sends a strong message to the public about the determination of the government to eradicate drug abuse from the state.

As the state continues its fight against the drug menace, it is essential to sustain and intensify these efforts. This includes implementing stringent measures to prevent drug trafficking, strengthening rehabilitation programs for drug addicts, and creating awareness campaigns to educate the public about the dangers of substance abuse.

The recent operation and subsequent seizure of brown sugar, along with the arrest of drug peddlers, mark a significant milestone in the fight of Arunachal Pradesh against drugs.
