KHOWAI, July 14 (TIWN): Acting on a tip-off raid, Khowai police officials ceased huge amount of contraband goods from different areas under Khowai district on Monday late night.

Khowai SDPO Rajiv Sengupta, Additional SP Haripod Das, Khowai police OC Narayan Chakraborty along with huge BSF troops and police personnel, the khowai administration on Monday late night conducted a raid in Subhas Park, Office tilla road, MG bazaar, Durga Nagar and other areas and ceased contraband items worth Rs. 40-50,000.

Based on secret information, a raid was conducted in the different parts of Khowai under khowai police station. During the search, troops recovered bottles of Phensidyle and Corex and drug tablets.

The cost of seized contraband items were estimated at nearly about Rs 50,000. However, nobody is arrested in this connection.

After ending this successful raid, SDPO Rajiv Sengupta furiously expressed that the entire district is floating with various contraband items. A section of youths and school going students are bitterly addicted to these narcotic items. With an effort to prevent the drug addiction, the administration will keep continuing anti-drug raids in different corners of the district, he added.

Smuggling of Phensedyl a cough syrup with an exceedingly high dose of codeine, high dose of painkillers with drugs and other contraband items are increasing day by day in the state. The police, administration and BSF are doing their best to stop smuggling of these contraband items. But they are unable stop the smuggling of contraband items as the smuggler gangs are hand in glove with officials, said a highly placed police source.

Even though Tripura's Police force and intelligence network is fully capable of tackling this statewide drug menace but evil nexus of political powers, mafia and civil administration are keeping police force as mute spectators.

However, police couldn’t arrest anyone in this regard as the persons involved in this crime flew away from the spot with the arrival of police in the area.  

Additional SP of khowai police Haripod Das further said that to maintain the peace and tranquility of the district the police will continue with conducting such anti-drug raids in the area for curbing the smuggling of contraband goods.
