The Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN) has made a significant breakthrough in its ongoing fight against drug trafficking, officials announced Friday. A major haul of over 6.5 lakh tablets and injections of regulated substances was seized in Bijnor district.
The operation was executed on Thursday by CBN units from Bareilly and New Delhi, following specific intelligence alerts. Deputy Commissioner of Narcotics (Lucknow Zone), Praveen Bali, indicated that the confiscated drugs included psychotropic tablets such as alprazolam, chlordiazepoxide, tramadol, and tapentadol, along with injections of pentazocine and tramadol.
