Tengnoupal Battalion under the aegis of IGAR (South) foiled an attempt to smuggle COVID-19 vaccines and RAT kits from India to Myanmar on February 26.
During a search operation, troops of Assam Rifles intercepted a vehicle moving from Imphal to Moreh in Manipur.
On detailed search of the vehicle, 200 vials of Covishield COVID-19 vaccine (2,000 doses) and 299 rapid antigen test kits were found concealed in the body of the vehicle.
The two traffickers traveling in the vehicle were detained and subsequently handed over to the police authorities along with the seized medical stores.
