SILCHAR: Another sizable consignment of narcotic tablets was seized by a team of Assam Police on Monday, November 14.

The team managed to seize a total of 54000 Yaba Tablets during this drug bust and the international value of the captured narcotics is said to be around Rs 13.5 Crs.

A team of police personnel from Lakhipur in the Cachar District of Assam managed to capture the consignment as well as two drug peddlers who were in possession of the Yaba Tablets.
