Aizawl: Excise and narcotics confiscated drugs worth Rs 133.75 lakh and arrested four people from the suburbs of Pukpui Village near Lunglei City on Friday afternoon, said the department.
Officials said the deleted contraband goods consisted of 50,000 tablets (4,915 kg) metamfetamine, also known as Met crystals, and 316 grams of heroin.
Of the four people arrested, three came from Myanmar and one from Hauruang Village near Lunglei City.
The drugs were hidden in charcoal bags and transported in pickup trucks and autorickshaw, which were also confiscated by officials.
The defendant was produced before the District Court in Lunglei on Saturday, which sent it in judicialization for 14 days, the official said.
The trading volume of narcotics and drugs has increased from Myanmar, with which Mizoram shares a 404km porous international border, this year, according to officials.
Officials approached the increase in these activities in the absence of efficient civil administration in Myanmar after a military coup in February and the Narcotics Department had confiscated 17 kg and 95 g of heroin along with 6 kg and 930 g metamfetamamamamamam and 930 g.
Until November 30 this year.
Last year, department officials confiscated 11 kg and 710 g heroin while the number of seizures in 2019 was 12 kg and 596 g.
