Acting on specific information, sleuths from the Special Intelligence Unit (SIU) and the narcotic cell of Imphal West District Police and 43 Assam Rifles personnel intercepted the drugs ferried from Guwahati on Sunday.
The joint security team also pulled up the driver of the truck, identified as Md Farooque Khan of Khabeishoi village in Imphal East, police sources said, adding that the owner of the truck is also a Muslim from the state.
Each uncoated C-U-Kuf tablet contains 60mg of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and 2.5mg of triproclidine hydrochloride, the sources added.
The cement consignment was being shipped in for one store at Churachandpur, while the drugs loaded from Guwahati were dispatched in the name of an individual at Khurai in Imphal East.
There have been earlier instances of interception of a huge quantity of drugs containing pseudoephedrine meant for smuggling to Myanamar. SP capsules have now become a serious menace in the state.
The cops have begun a probe to nab the ring leader behind the flow of psychotropic drugs in the state.
In another operation by 24 Assam Rifles, two drug peddlers were apprehended with a whopping 1,16,150 Sucet tablets and 1,00,740 Skuf tablets from Lokchao area near the border town of Moreh.
