Imphal, Jul 22 (PTI) Former Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Tuesday said countermeasures to dismantle drug networks must be intensified.

Singh lauded the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) for the recent seizure of 7 kg of cocaine, worth Rs 14.69 crore, from two women in Bengaluru.

“The arrest of the two women, identified as Laljamluvai from Manipur & Lalthangliani from Mizoram, shows that the North East remains a major drugs route,” he said.

“Such operations expose the deep-rooted threat of drug trafficking to our citizens across the country. We must intensify the countermeasures to dismantle these networks and ensure a drug-free India,” he added. PTI CORR SOM
