In a major success against trans-border narcotics trafficking, BSF troops of Border Out Post (BOP) NC Nagar under Sepahijala district, Tripura, thwarted an attempt by Indian smugglers to smuggle contraband across the Indo-Bangladesh border.

Acting on specific intelligence, vigilant BSF personnel observed suspicious movement near the international border. On being challenged, the smugglers fled, abandoning the consignment on Indian soil.

A thorough search of the area resulted in the recovery of 21 packets containing 43,800 Yaba tablets, valued at approximately ₹4.38 crore. In addition, BSF troops seized other contraband items worth ₹3,68,604 from different locations along the Tripura border on the same day.

This successful operation is part of the BSF’s intensified efforts to curb cross-border smuggling and ensure national security. The recent surge in narcotics seizures highlights the commitment and enhanced vigilance of BSF troops deployed along sensitive border stretches.

The seized items have been handed over to concerned agencies for further legal action

The BSF remains resolute in its mission to secure the nation’s borders and contribute actively to the campaign against drug trafficking.
