AGARTALA/ KADAMTALA, May 5 (TIWN): Amidst boosting about raids and trapping of smugglers, the drug smuggling at a rise in Tripura.

Kadamtala is acting as the corridor for smuggling either via National Highway or Railway. Reportedly, the drugs are supplied via Kadamtala from other Northeast states, are distributing across the state through chain businessmen. Eventhough sometimes criminals engaged in the crime are detecting, but a recent report revealed not even 5 % of it are nabbed by police. Via various new-new ways the smugglings are going on here, spoiling the generation from the nurturing level. The small businessmen are nobody but small shop-keepers, medicine shops from where school, college students are directly buying these elements.

From Dharmanagar train also intoxicated items were found by BSF. On July 7,  1 kilo and 365 gram of Brown Sugar (worth 1.25 crores)  was recovered from Silchar-Agartala train at Panisagar by BSF 159^thbtln.  Apart from that 400 gram brown sugar was seized from a bus by 159th battalion BSF on Sunday afternoon at Dharmanagar ISBT area. The bus was travelling from Dharmanagar to Agartala. Reportedly, Brown sugar worth Rs. 30 lakhs was being shipped into the Capital City Agartala. 

Inside rice sacks, potato sacks these items are remained hidden. But surprising matter is that the place where such incidents are happening at Kadamtala are very close to the Kadamtala Police Station, but police have failed to stop such kinds of illegal business till day. Instead of decreasing the smuggling rackets are at a rise.

Inside other food items via kadamtala Outpost way lakhs of illegal items are entering in state, but the smugglers are left with ease-business.  But till day Kadamtala Police has not detected any such kinds of activities, whereas BSF and high officials have arrested many culprits, raising questions about the role of Kadamtala Police Force.
