Margherita: In a late-night operation on Tuesday, June 17, a joint team from Margherita Police Station and Ledo Police Outpost seized 5.1 grams of suspected prohibited narcotics during a targeted raid in Rodgaon, Ledo.

The operation, based on specific intelligence, was led by Officer-in-Charge of Margherita Police Station Protap Gogoi and In-Charge of Ledo Police Outpost Jyotish Phukan. The team conducted a swift raid and recovered the contraband from the area.
