Whoever brought these drugs into the country should face presecution and a life sentence given. The numerous young lives that are ruined for ever by injesting these drugs is tragic. No mercy should be shown to drug dealers, they need the death penalty as in most south east asian countires, we in Sri lanka do not have the death penalty, so they need to get life in prison with no parole.

Detection is one thing but will they carry out investigations to go right to the top as to the mastermind in this racket. Very unlikely from the way the drug menace has been handled so far with only minions caught and jailed.
