Mizoram Excise and Narcotics department officials seized 47g of heroin from two different places in Aizawl yesterday, officials said.
Two persons were arrested in this connection and were booked under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act, 1985, they added.
Drug trafficking, especially from Myanmar, with which Mizoram shares a 404-km-long porous international border, increased immensely during the past six months, they said.
Maiden smuggling of Methamphetamine from that country further worried the officials as the dreaded drug, manufactured from pseudo-ephedrine, was highly addictive and extremely dangerous, the officials said.
