SILCHAR, Nov 14: Assam Rifles and the Silchar unit of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) seized Yaba (WY) tablets worth about Rs 60 crore in Assam's Cachar district and detained one person, officials said.
The tablets were recovered from a dumper truck during a joint operation against narcotics trafficking.
The truck was travelling from Mizoram to Assam when security personnel tried to stop it near Barkhola on Friday. The vehicle tried to evade the security cordon, following which the joint team chased and stopped it.
During a search, the team found the tablets concealed in a specially built cabinet inside the truck, officials said.
The detained person, the seized tablets and the dumper truck were handed over to the DRI's Silchar unit for further investigation and legal action.
Investigation into the supply network involved in the case and the source of the contraband was under way.
