SHILLONG, Jan 28: Drugs worth Rs 191.328 crore were destroyed in a secure and environmentally responsible manner by the Commissionerate of Customs, NER, Shillong, ensuring these harmful substances are permanently removed from circulation.
The destruction was part of a drug destruction drive and involved a total of 15.90 kg of heroin, 92.77 kg of methamphetamine tablets, 355.40 grams of cocaine, and 1,567.161 kg of ganja.
