Dhaka becoming a drug trafficking route

According to this paper, investigations by the Department of Narcotics Control found that at least 600 kg of amphetamine powder was smuggled out of Bangladesh using courier services after its arrival from India via the Benapole border—a trade worth around Tk 600 crore. It was discovered after September 9 when around 12 kg of amphetamine powder was seized from the cargo village area of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

The security at our airports and the involvement of courier companies should be investigated. Drugs continue to ruin lives at an unprecedented rate. The government must ensure our borders remain secure from this illegal trade.
