GUWAHATI: (Mar 10) The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has seized 524.9 kg of ganja worth about Rs 2.6 crore in Assam and arrested two people as part of intensified operations ahead of the forthcoming Assembly elections in Assam and West Bengal.

The seizure was made on March 8 when the NCB's Guwahati Zonal Unit, acting on specific intelligence, intercepted a Tata Intra V70 truck at Khatkhati in a joint operation with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), an official statement of NCB said.

A thorough search of the vehicle led to the recovery of 524.9 kg of ganja concealed in a specially fabricated cavity inside the truck in an attempt to evade detection.
