印度多個城市緝獲毒品及逮捕販毒者
Introduction

印度海關與稅務情報局進行了多次行動，緝獲大量大麻並逮捕了多名嫌疑人。
Main Body
The Air Intelligence Unit of Customs at Lucknow airport stopped an Indian citizen arriving from Bangkok via Muscat. After using X-ray screening on the luggage, officials found 10.397 kilograms of hydroponic marijuana, worth an estimated ₹10.39 crore. This follows a similar event on June 1 at Varanasi airport, where six Thai nationals were arrested with 19.7 kilograms of cannabis valued at over ₹19 crore. Consequently, investigators believe there is a larger trafficking network operating through the Kolkata-Gaya route.
勒克瑙機場的海關航空情報組攔截了一名由曼谷經馬斯喀抵達的印度公民。在對行李進行 X 光掃描後，官員發現了 10.397 公斤的水耕大麻，估值約 1.039 億盧比。此前於 6 月 1 日在瓦拉納西機場發生了類似事件，當時有六名泰國國民被捕，隨身攜帶 19.7 公斤大麻，價值超過 1.9 億盧比。因此，調查人員認為在加爾各答至加雅的路線上，有一個更大規模的販毒網絡在運作。
Meanwhile, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) in Mumbai conducted a planned operation on National Highway-53 in Nagpur. This action resulted in the seizure of 522.55 kilograms of cannabis, valued at ₹2.61 crore, which was being moved from the Odisha-Andhra Pradesh border in a large truck. Two people were arrested as part of this inter-state group. The DRI emphasized that this operation is part of a series of actions this year that have led to the seizure of over 1,250 kilograms of cannabis and four more arrests.
與此同時，孟買的稅務情報局 (DRI) 在那格浦爾的 53 號國家公路執行了一次計劃行動。此次行動緝獲了 522.55 公斤大麻，價值 261 萬盧比，當時大麻正由一部大貨車從奧里薩邦與安得拉邦邊境運送。該跨州集團的兩名成員被捕。DRI 強調，此次行動是今年一系列緝毒行動之一，今年已緝獲超過 1,250 公斤大麻並逮捕了另外四人。
Conclusion
Law enforcement agencies are continuing to investigate these criminal networks under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.
執法部門正根據 1985 年《麻醉藥品及精神活性物質法》繼續調查這些犯罪網絡。

🚀 The 'B2 Power Move': Moving from Simple to Complex
At the A2 level, you likely say: "The police caught the people. They found drugs. They took the drugs away."
To reach B2, you need to stop using short, choppy sentences and start using Passive Voice and Advanced Connectors. This article is a goldmine for this transition.
🛠 The Tool: The Passive Voice
Look at this phrase: "...six Thai nationals were arrested..."
Why is this B2? In A2, we focus on who did the action (The police arrested them). In B2, we focus on what happened to the person. It makes your English sound more professional and objective.
Compare the jump:
- A2: "The police stopped a man." Simple/Basic
- B2: "An Indian citizen was stopped by officials." Sophisticated/Formal
🔗 The Tool: Logical Bridges
B2 speakers don't just list facts; they link them to show cause and effect.
Spot the bridge: "Consequently, investigators believe..."
Instead of saying "So," use Consequently. It tells the reader: "Because of the facts I just mentioned, this is the result."
Try replacing these A2 words with B2 bridges:
- Instead of "And" Use "Meanwhile" (to show two things happening at once).
- Instead of "So" Use "Consequently" (to show a logical result).
💎 Vocabulary Upgrade
Stop using "big" or "get." Use specific B2 verbs found in the text:
- Seizure (instead of "taking something away").
- Conduct (instead of "do" "conducted an operation").
- Emphasize (instead of "say strongly").
