A huge amount of ganja was seized by Assam police from Gossaigaon Sub-Division under Kokrajhar district on Monday.

As per reports, a truck bearing the registration number 'AS01AC/6911'was intercepted near the Srirampur gate and recovered ganja weighing 500 kg upon searching.

A total of 50 packets stuffed with ganja were recovered.
