UDAIPUR, Aug 6 (TIWN): In a successful operation, Udaipur Police led by SDPO Himadri Prasad Das and Kakrabon OC Nani Gopal Das seized huge amounts and heroine and yaba tablets in a late night ride. Two smugglers were detained in the drive. The detained persons are : Halim Mia, resident of Krishna Kishore Nagar in Bishalgarh and Jabbar Ali, resident of Udaipur Rajnagar. Another accused person is Rupan Mia, resident of Udaipur’s Fulkumari No-2 escaped from the spot. Total 380 brown sugar, heroine 75, yava 37 and one vehicle bearing number TR 01 R 0475 and 7,900 cash were seized. Yaba tablet addiction has gripped the Northeast state Tripura at the root-level. Just before 4 days with 20,000 yaba tablets three youths have been caught by Ambasa Police while carrying huge numbers of yaba tablets via Assam Agartala road. Bishalgarh, Sonamura has been the biggest corridor for drug smuggling and still continuing as the biggest corridor. Total 20,000 yaba tablets worth Rs. 40 lakhs were seized from the arrested persons by Ambasa police. Now, ganja trees are planted in various places openly but nobody dares to speak out due to ruling party tags.
Since few years, yaba tablets have become Tripura’s most seized contrabands, results of massive illegal border business. BSF almost everyday seizing huge numbers of contrabands where yaba tablets are common.
Amid everyday raids of Tripura Police under ‘Nesha Mukt Tripura’, the drug-addiction has continued to grip the state. Recently a news was flashed where a woman is found involved in drug-peddling at Ambasa and many more ruling party leaders were caught in illegal trafficking of contrabands.
One BJP MLA directly accused BJP leaders including present MP Pratima Bhowmik’s nexus with drug empire. Such incidents always raised fingers again at BJP’s top layer’s leaders, giving tough time to implement actions for Nesha-Mukt-Tripura. Police’s failure lies in its inactiveness to take action against BJP leaders as Pratima Bhowmik even after she threatened an IPS Officer Kiran Kumar on face to kill him saying, “Tereko hum abhi maar dalega”.
Police’s drives are praiseworthy but allegedly could not even curb 5% of the actual drug empire and without ratting the drug-den nurtured at the top-layer, the police can not end the drug-mafias.
Narcotism injected society in Tripura like hell in last few decades which is yet to curb down and hence the Drug-Free Tripura need a longer march. Amid police’s day to day raids and seizers, BSF has reported that 7 Indians, 6 Bangladeshis, 20 Myanmar nationals were arrested in last one month (May, 2019).
