In yet another major haul, the Government Railway Police (GRP) on Wednesday recovered a large amount of ganja at Guwahati railway station.
According to sources, ganja weighing 109 kilograms was recovered from a Howrah-bound Kamrup Express train that was stationed there.
The estimated market value of the seized ganja is said to be around Rs 54 lakh.
Sources informed that the ganja was recovered from an unattended big rucksack that was stored beneath a seat in the train.
The ganja was being smuggled from Dimapur, sources further informed.
