According to SCR officials, the RPF teams successfully confiscated a substantial cache of contraband, including a staggering quantity of cannabis, weighing 60 kgs having a market value of Rs 15 lakh with the arrest of two persons.
Additionally, their vigilance resulted in the interception of 931 liquor bottles, valued at Rs 64,523 with the arrest of six persons, marking a decisive blow against illegal substance trafficking.
In the realm of ticketing malfeasance, 24 cases have been registered for the unauthorised booking of 635 railway reservation tickets.
