20,000 tablets of Methamphetamine were today seized by the Mizoram Excise and Narcotics department officials here.
The contraband, believed to be smuggled from Myanmar, was stuffed in 50 packets, state Excise and Narcotics Department spokesman Peter Zohmingthanga said.
The Methamphetamine tablets were meant to be sold in Aizawl at Rs 31 lakh, he said, adding that the name of the trafficker, who was arrested and booked under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, was not released to the public as it could hamper further probe.
Large amount of Methamphetamine were seized in Mizoram in past one year by both state Police and Excise and Narcotic department officials.
Officials said Pseudo-ephedrine, legally made in India, was the main precursor for illicit manufacture of Methamphetamine and huge quantity of tablet to be smuggled to Myanmar was seized in Mizoram and other north-eastern states in past few years.
