On April 6, Assam Rifles under the aegis of Inspector General Assam Rifles (East) seized 536 bags of illegal areca nuts worth Rs 3 crores in the general area of Zotlang, Champhai.

The operation was carried out by a combined team of Assam Rifles and the Customs Department, Champhai based on specific information.
