Over 5kg of heroin seized from school near Mizoram border
Aizawl: Hualngoram police seized 427 hawngs (packet), containing around 5kg and 200 grams of heroin, from a school classroom in Khawmawi village located at Chin state of Myanmar near the Mizoram border on Thursday, Hualngoram People's Organisation (HPO) leader Pu Hminga said on Friday.
Hualngoram police is a part of HPO, a civil administration governing some areas adjacent to Mizoram's Champhai district, which have been liberated by combined forces of the Chin National Army (CNA) and the Chin Defence Force (CDF)-Hualngoram from Myanmar army rule.
Hminga told TOI over phone from Khawmawi village that the contraband, suspected to be trafficked to Mizoram, was seized from TPCE nursery school, a private institution owned and run by Ngun Sui Thang (37).
Thang is known to be a member of education board of the Chin National Organisation (CNO) and its armed wing Chin National Defence Force (CNDF).
"As Thang had already absconded when the school was searched, his wife Tuan Kim Thiam (35) was arrested. Hualngoram police launch a manhunt to find Thang and seek the help of Young Mizo Association (YMA), the largest civil society in Mizoram, and the Mizoram Police for his arrest," he said.
