Raids on NE drug cartels reveal illicit deals worth Rs 270cr

Indian authorities have seized Rs 270 crore (approx. $3.5 million) worth of illicit drugs in raids on northeast drug cartels. The operation, code-named 'Operation Meghdoot', was conducted by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and other agencies.

The raids led to the arrest of several key players in the drug trade, including some high-profile individuals. The operation also resulted in the seizure of a significant amount of drugs, including heroin, methamphetamine, and other controlled substances.

The operation is a part of the government's ongoing efforts to crack down on the drug trade in the region. The northeast states of India have been grappling with a drug menace for several years now.
