In a rapid and effective operation conducted on January 5th, 2024, the Rangat Police exhibited their unwavering dedication to eradicating unlawful activities by successfully intercepting a substantial cache of Lehan in the dense forests of Kalsi village.
Promptly responding to a tip-off, Inspector R.K Mazumder, SHO PS Rangat, assembled a specialised team comprising ASI Samayamuthu, I/C OP Bakultala, HC Mohan Rao, and PC Pradeep Topno.
