Who is going to issue the next letter to take this off ?

Good job by police. We need to know the king pins behind these drug smuggling. While certain prominent persons are described in many circles as the people behind these, whoever it is should be brought to justice. We implore the President, The Defense Sectary to please take action to cleanse our country of this menace..

Any connection with the Heroin Container and this one.........??

While the detection and arrest of those responsible for this stock of heroin is well and good we want to know why the responsible parties of the other mega detection in the container have not been arrested as yet. Orders form the top?

What really happens to the stock of heroin confiscated?

Not to worry. After inquiries, police will find that they are all innocent. The country can then wait for the next consingment
