Operations to curb illegal drug ring in the island would be further strengthened during next year (2021), Defence Secretary Maj. Gen. (Retd) Kamal Gunaratne said yesterday.
“Nabbing of many drug-dealing incidents was effective following tipped-off by the general public and the recent drop of drug availability in the country has also resulted in notable price hikes”, he said.
“All the operations led to combat underworld and illegal drug dealings are still functioning in the same vein”, he told media citing the recent seizure of Rs. 59 million worth illegitimately earned money over a drug ring.
He said maximum legal action would be taken against those involved in underworld activities.

Hold on did you not give an assurance that the Narcotics menace will end by 2020? On one hand the penalty imposed on possession of Narcotics was increased from 2gms to 5gms. Is this part of the strategy to eradicate drugs from society ? Wow you guys never cease to amaze us

Many countries have legalized all drugs such a Portugal 20 years ago. It put the drug pushers out of business and drug use has DROPPED dramatically. This November, the State of Oregon in the USA legalized all drugs. Sri Lanka keeps all this illegal since powerful interests make a huge profit from it. Wake Up Sri Lanka!
