The drive took place under Kadamtala Police and Tarakpur BSF’s joint attempt. The ambulance carrying ganja was going from Dharmanagar (Tripura) to Silchar (Assam). It has been known now that this was an old trick to smuggle ganja and other contrabands from Tripura but police could not guess it till before BSF 166-Bn, Tarakpur had informed police about it on yesterday night. Both BSF and Police remained alert since yesterday night resulting in massive success today morning. Planwise, the BSF and Police were checking at Kurti-Jherjheri border routes and got success.
