Aizawl/UNI One lakh tablets of Methamphetamine, also known as party drugs, worth Rs 3.50 crore have been seized from a person near Myanmar border in Mizoram's Champhai district.

Aizawl battalion of Assam Rifles launched a joint operation with the officials of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence in the Diltlang area of Champhai district late Saturday evening and seized one lakh of Methamphetamine tablets from the custody of a drug peddler.

In a separate action, the Assam Rifles troopers have seized 80 bags of Areca Nuts valued at Rs 11.24 lakh from Melbuk areas also in Champhai district and arrested a person.

The detainee along with recovered items, smuggled from neighbouring Myanmar, was handed over to Custom Prevention Force.

"Ongoing illegal drug trades are a major cause of concern for the state of Mizoram. Assam Rifles, rightly christened as the 'Sentinels of North East' have been successful in launching such operations against the illicit smuggling in Mizoram," a press statement said.

Methamphetamine tablets (also called Yaba tablet or party tablet) contain a mix of methamphetamine and caffeine and are misused as high-dosage drugs in India, Bangladesh and neighbouring countries.
