When the abundance of heroin in the country (having very high street values) has become so extensive, I wonder whether that could convert into our latest re-export item to earn much needed foreign exchange. Who knows, it might become our No 1 (re) export earner !!!

Great job. However during last couple of months, large quantity of drugs found, now where are they? Is it with government officials or sold to market.
