Mizoram, which shares a 404-kilometre porous border with Myanmar, has
become a favoured passage for cross-border ‘party drug’ cartels based in
the neighbouring country. A recent spurt in seizures of
pseudoephedrine-based drugs from Aizawl, majority of them from flight
passengers, has proved this.
With the seizure of 60 kilograms (46, 5000 tablets) on Thursday, Lengpui
Airport security police have seized 1,03,62,519 tablets of
pseudoephedrine-based drugs from the state’s lone airport during the
last two months and nine days.
