SILCHAR: Acting on a tip off, Silchar police arrested a youth from a posh area of the city along with 29 plastic boxes containing brown sugar. The youth had been identified as Pinku Bikash Das, a resident of lane number 9 of Link Road. He had been sent to police custody on Tuesday by a local court. Sources said, police nabbed the youth while he was on his way to deliver the banned narcotic substance.
Despite of State government's tireless effort to destabilize the narcotic smuggling network, Cachar being a bordering district, continues to be a safe passage for the drug peddlers. The contraband substances were smuggled into Mizoram first from Myanmar and transported to various parts of the country using Silchar as a safe passage. However the recent police raids had a different worrying factor as peddlers were being arrested while selling the substances at posh areas of the town suggesting high demands from the locality.
