AIZAWL, August 28, 2024: Student volunteers and officials of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted a joint operation and seized 53,100 bottles of Codeine Syrup in Aizawl on wee hours Wednesday. The authorities arrested a suspect who was attempting to transport the syrup to a store of a courier service.
The detainee has been charged under the relevant drugs rules.
The Young Mizo Association (YMA), the apex students’ body in Mizoram, stated that this seizure highlights the severity of the illegal entry of drugs into the state. These drugs are often abused by teenagers and have become a major problem in families and communities.
