Has Mizoram emerged as the new drug route for the Myanmar drug syndicate? Amid the unrest in Manipur, Is Mizoram the transit hub for smuggling narcotics into India?

According to reports, ever since the violence broke out in Manipur on May 3, 2023, the neighboring state has witnessed an increase in the number of drug smuggling activities. Narcotics worth over Rs 78 crores have been seized from Mizoram in the past month alone. Significantly, almost every drug bust has a direct Myanmar link. Champhai, bordering Myanmar, which shelters thousands of refugees from the neighbouring country, has also emerged as a hotbed of drug smuggling.
