India, Nov. 3 -- The Tripura Pradesh Youth Congress (TPYC) has called for the immediate arrest of everyone involved in the large-scale smuggling of banned cough syrup recently seized at Jirania railway station in West Tripura.

Authorities seized a shipment of 1.07 lakh bottles of banned cough syrup, valued at about Rs 5.4 crore, being transported on a goods train.

The seizure has raised serious concerns about the growing narcotics trade in the state.

So far, only one person has been taken into custody, prompting the Youth Congress to criticise the slow progress of the investigation.

The organisation suggested that delays may indicate political interference or connections between the accused and influential individuals.
