Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh Tuesday rewarded 59 police personnel for busting a drug manufacturing unit and recovering brown sugar worth Rs 100 crore in the international market.
A total amount of Rs 10 lakh was handed over to the 59 personnel of the Narcotics and Affairs of Border (NAB) and the Thoubal district police involved in the operation by the chief minister at a function here.
