Itanagar, July 1 (UNI) In a major breakthrough under Operation Dawn 2.0, the Ziro Police arrested two alleged drug peddlers and seized 42.94 grams of suspected heroin during an operation conducted last night, a senior officer said today.

The vehicle was eventually intercepted near Tribal Gym, Hapoli, and a search was conducted in presence of Executive Magistrate Hage Tarung (SDO) and independent witnesses.
The two individuals inside the vehicle were identified as Biju Borgohain (40), and Hage Tachang (35). A thorough search led to the recovery of 33 plastic vials containing suspected heroin, weighing a total of 42.94 grams.
