Poll Heat Rises in Cachar: ₹13 Lakh Cash, Liquor and Narcotics Seized in Pre-Election Crackdown

In a significant pre-election crackdown, authorities in Assam’s Cachar district have intensified surveillance measures, leading to the seizure of substantial quantities of unaccounted cash, liquor, and narcotics ahead of the upcoming polls.

According to official sources, enforcement teams conducting routine inspections across key transit routes recovered unaccounted cash amounting to approximately ₹13.25 lakh. The operation also resulted in the seizure of liquor valued at around ₹9.45 lakh and narcotic substances.

The heightened vigilance forms part of a broader strategy to enforce the Model Code of Conduct and curb the illegal movement of inducements that could influence voters. Security agencies, including district administration and police, have stepped up naka checking and surveillance, particularly along sensitive corridors.

Officials have systematically conducted such operations to prevent electoral malpractices and ensure transparency in the democratic process. The seizures highlight the administration’s zero-tolerance approach towards any attempt to manipulate voters through cash or contraband distribution.

The intensified drive in Cachar mirrors a wider trend seen across poll-bound regions in India, where enforcement agencies are maintaining strict vigil to safeguard the integrity of elections.

Authorities have reiterated their commitment to continue stringent checks in the days leading up to polling, ensuring that the electoral process in the Barak Valley remains free, fair, and peaceful.
