Parliament, April 24 (Daily Mirror)- The incinerator built in Wanathavilluwa for the purpose of destroying narcotic drugs produced before courts will be opened next month, Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said today.
He told Parliament that some 300 kilograms of heroin produced before courts will be destroyed on the first day.
The Minister said this when the regulations under the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance were taken up for approval in Parliament.
He said under the new regulations, the magistrate can order the seized drugs to be destroyed after obtaining a sample of the stock and other required evidence before concluding the case.
“The drugs will be destroyed under a proper procedure with the participation of the magistrate, the police, the Attorney General’s Department and the Government Analyst's Department,” he said.
He said after the opening of the incinerator, steps will be taken to destroy the seized drugs once a month.

You are most welcome to jump into the incinarator on it's opening ceremony. Don't worry. You will be remembered as one of the candidates for presidency who took an early exit.

I am not sure about drugs but a whole lot of sensitive documents of corruption and other criminal activity by the ranil rajapaksa criminal syndicate will end up there.

The drugs that are to be destroyed are probably years old. With the current technology drugs seized in high seas should be destroyed withing days if not it turns into wheat lower or saw dust.

Some drugs can't be burned as they will release highly toxic fumes. Also Marijuana is used for smoking so please don't put it in the incinerator!

It will never happen.It will go back to the drug dealer and be distributed and sold among addicts.How many times have before these politicians said that they would destroy these drugs.
