Deomali, Tirap District (Arunachal Pradesh) — In a significant crackdown on local narcotics trade, police arrested a woman, Nyamyang Thingnok, from Batey Colony on charges of drug trafficking, officials confirmed on Friday.

58.8 grams of contraband substances, packed in soap cases
The drugs were wrapped in black polythene and white tissue paper
Additionally, the police recovered Rs1.2 lakh in cash, suspected to be the proceeds from drug sales.
