We have arrested 448 people."Mahanta said that after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took charge of the state, he issued clear directions for a crackdown on drugs. Therefore the state police is conducting multiple drives against drugs, he added.He further said that cough syrup or ganja are not included in the drugs seized. "We are only talking about drugs that come from across the border. So it is an all-out war on drugs and it will continue. Assam is the route to the hinterland. We have to target both the local peddlers as well as the inter-state operators," the top cop said.
