Chief Minister of Meghalaya Conrad K Sangma in a post on X (formerly Twitter), informed about the seizure of drugs estimated to be worth over Rs 2 crore. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) Sangma said, "A major success through Police-Public cooperation! In Shillong, a major drug bust worth over Rs 2 crore took place yesterday night.

Many congratulations to the Sumo driver for his quick thinking and courage. He will be aptly rewarded for his honesty."
