GRP officials said that the three, who hail from Mizoram, were bringing the consignment from New Delhi. "They were going to take the drugs to Mizoram and smuggle them to Myanmar from there. Many illegal drug manufacturers in New Delhi and UP are supplying these drugs to the region," said a GRP official.
Two months ago in June, the GRP has seized drugs worth Rs 14.52 crore and arrested some12 peddlers, including women.
Meanwhile sources in the railway police said that they have sought the help of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) to curb the drug menace. "The growing trend of synthetic drug smuggling is taking on alarming proportions in the northeast. The state, especially Guwahati, is not only a transit point for trafficking of these drugs to Bangladesh and Myanmar, but also provides a lucrative market for dealers to supply improvised party drugs," added the official.
