Methamphetamine tablets, valued over Rs 25.49 crore, were seized recently from two Myanmar nationals and ammunition from a passenger from Manipur. The highly addictive Methamphetamine tablets, which are often smuggled from neighbouring Myanmar, contain a mix of methamphetamine and caffeine and are misused as high-dosage drugs in Bangladesh and neighbouring countries, besides India. Mizoram’s border Champhai district is the main corridor to smuggle drugs and other contrabands from Myanmar.
