In a major anti-narcotics operation, authorities seized 700 kg of methamphetamine and arrested eight Iranian nationals off Gujarat's coast on November 15. Code-named 'Sagar Manthan - 4,' the operation was executed by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Navy, and Gujarat ATS based on intelligence inputs. The vessel was intercepted by maritime patrol assets, highlighting India's robust counter-narcotics efforts. Home Minister Amit Shah lauded the operation, calling it a testament to the government's commitment to a "drug-free Bharat." Investigations are underway with assistance from foreign drug enforcement agencies to dismantle the syndicate’s global network.
