The Indian Coast Guard intercepted a fishing boat in the Andaman waters, uncovering approximately five tons of illicit drugs in what is being described as its largest-ever drug seizure. Defense officials confirmed the massive haul on Monday, marking a significant victory in the ongoing battle against narcotics trafficking.
This operation is the latest in a series of successful crackdowns on drug smuggling. Earlier this month, anti-narcotics agencies seized 700 kilograms of methamphetamine and arrested eight Iranian nationals off Gujarat’s coast. The Indian Coast Guard’s largest-ever drug seizure, aided by various agencies, highlights ongoing efforts against international trafficking.
