At least 13,256 people, including 100 foreign nationals, were arrested in drug- and alcohol-related cases by the Mizoram Excise and Narcotics Department over 21 months from January 2024 to September this year, a minister said on Wednesday.

State Excise and Narcotics Minister Lalnghinglova Hmar said the department registered 1,016 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and 12,047 cases under the Mizoram Liquor (Prohibition) Act, 2025, during the same period.

“A total of 1,563 people were arrested under the NDPS Act for drug trafficking and related offences, while 10,906 others were arrested under the Mizoram Liquor (Prohibition) Act for selling, manufacturing, importing illicit liquor, or illegally consuming alcohol,” Hmar told a press conference.

Among those arrested in connection with drugs and alcohol were 100 foreign nationals, mostly from Myanmar, he said

Additionally, 787 people were arrested in 826 alcohol-related cases under the Mizoram Excise Act, 1973, in three Autonomous District Council (ADC) areas in the southern part of the state.

According to Hmar, the department seized large quantities of drugs during the 21-month period, including 80.594 kg of heroin, 425.144 kg of methamphetamine, 1.193 kg of opium, and 801 kg of ganja (cannabis).

He said most of the seized drugs, particularly those recovered in bulk, were intended for transportation outside Mizoram.Drugs worth Rs 71.64 crore were destroyed by the Excise Department in the two years since the Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) government, led by Chief Minister Lalduhoma, assumed office in December 2023.

The department also seized large quantities of illicit country-made liquor, Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL), imported foreign liquor, beer, and illicit fruit wine, Hmar said.

Mizoram is a dry state where the manufacture, consumption, sale, and import of liquor are prohibited under the Mizoram Liquor (Prohibition) Act
