Joint Operations in Assam Recover Narcotics, Detain 15 Suspects

In Assam, security forces have apprehended one ULFA (Independent) cadre, ten Over Ground Workers (OGWs), and four alleged drug dealers with links to anti-national elements during a series of joint operations carried out in April 2026.

The operations were conducted by the Indian Army’s Red Shield Gunners under the aegis of Spear Corps in coordination with Assam Police across the Upper Assam districts of Tinsukia, Charaideo and Sivasagar.

Authorities said narcotics were also seized during the raids. According to an Army press release, the coordinated operations demonstrate the effectiveness of joint action in disrupting anti-national networks and their support systems in the region.

The statement added that sustained cooperation between the Army and Assam Police remains vital in preventing the recruitment of local youth into extremist groups and strengthening peace and stability across Upper Assam.
