Assam Rifles, in a joint operation with the Customs Preventive Force, Champhai, seized a massive quantity of foreign-origin cigarettes, worth more than Rs. 1 crore, in the Chhungte area of Champhai district, Mizoram.
The joint team reportedly acted on precise intelligence and seized 77 cases of smuggled cigarettes. The sheer value of the confiscated items points out the size of the smuggling networks operating along the northeastern borders of India.
