Mizoram Launches 4-Month Campaign-Cum-Operation Against Drug Smuggling, Abuse
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|September 02, 2025
The Mizoram government, on Monday, launched a four-month-long special campaign to curb the illegal trade of drugs and their menace, officials said.
A variety of drugs, especially the highly addictive methamphetamine tablets and heroin and different types of contraband, including exotic animals, are often illegally traded through six districts in Mizoram—Champhai, Siaha, Lawngtlai, Hnahthial, Saitual, and Serchhip—which share unfenced borders of 510 km with Myanmar.
From Mizoram, these drugs are ferried to other parts of the country and abroad, including Bangladesh, through Assam and Tripura.
