In a significant operation, the Indian Coast Guard has seized approximately five tonnes of drugs from a fishing boat off the coast of the Andaman Islands. Defence officials have confirmed that this is likely the largest drug haul in the history of the Indian Coast Guard.
The operation, which unfolded in the Andaman waters, has been hailed as a major success in the fight against drug trafficking in the region. While the exact details of the seized drugs and the suspects involved are yet to be disclosed, authorities have expressed their satisfaction with the outcome.
The seized drugs are believed to have been intended for distribution across various parts of the country, marking a significant blow to the network of drug smugglers operating in the area. The Indian Coast Guard has played a pivotal role in curbing such illegal activities, with this seizure being the latest in a series of successful drug busts by the force.
The Indian Coast Guard has yet to release further information regarding the ongoing investigation, but sources suggest that more details will be provided soon. As the operation is being assessed, authorities are working to identify the origin and destination of the illicit consignment.
This seizure stands as a testament to the vigilance and effectiveness of the Indian Coast Guard in its continuous efforts to safeguard the country’s maritime borders from illegal activities, including drug trafficking.
