“Cachar Police seizes massive 1,53,380 kg Burmese supari consignment in crackdown on illegal transportation”

In a major crackdown on the illegal transportation of Burmese Areca Nuts, the Cachar Police under the leadership of Superintendent of Police Numal Mahatta has seized a huge consignment of 1,53,380 KG of Burmese supari in the last 24 hours. The police have also arrested 10 individuals in connection with the case and seized 8 vehicles used for transportation.

The illegal consignments of Burmese Areca Nuts are believed to have been shipped from Mizoram to various parts of India to supply Guthka factories via Cachar district. The police suspect that international rackets from Indonesia are the masterminds behind this illegal transportation.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Najmul Hussain, 32, from Janki Bazar, Panchgram, Hailakandi, Assam; Dilip Singh, 48, from Chalashar City, Kardhani, Jaipur, Rajasthan; Shane Alam, 21, from Taharpur, Moinather, Muradabad, Uttar Pradesh; Dinesh, 32, from Moondewara, Shikar, Rajasthan; Tehjib Alom, 24, from Taharpur, Mainadher, Muradabad, Uttar Pradesh; Deepak Kumar, 22, from Gouchikhan, Udhani, Muzzafapur, Bihar; Mahammad Kife, 20, from Rasulpur, Mainadher, Muradabad, Uttar Pradesh; Jane Alom, 20, from Taharpur, Mainadher, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh; Jahir Ahmed Laskar, 35, from Saidpur Pt-II, Katigorah, Cachar; and Vasim, 26, from 156 Masvi Rasulpur, Marather, Muradabad, Uttar Pradesh.

It is important to note that the illegal transportation of Burmese Areca Nuts not only fuels the underground market but also causes significant financial losses to the government. By bypassing the taxation system, the government loses a significant amount of revenue that it could have generated had the nuts been transported legally. Therefore, it is crucial that such illegal activities are identified and curbed to prevent further financial losses to the government.
