    Destroy the root. Cutting branches of this notorious tree is not going to help.

    Destrying the root is not easy because highly connectd people including politicians are connected to this racket.

    Other than Wele Suda and Siddique no one at the high end has been arrested. Still the availability of drugs is not reduced. So obviously some are profitting more by bringing in larger quantities.

    Why cannot the Police question this guy as to how he got it and go up the ladder to get the wholestring to the top - or are Police not keen for that but shows us their bravado by getting some small dealers.

    They were protected under MR but Yahapalanya must act.
