It is 2 years since Nandasena can into power and stated he is going to eradicate the drug problem from its roots. Now this news. He even released a noted drug baron.

How was the 40Kg brought into the country? By boat or hidden in import cargo? This is happening far too often.

The bankrupt government can export it and make some money. This could be heroin that was taken into custody before gone to the market

With all the hype about the " all out war on drugs" going on over the last one year, the authorities seem to be losing the battle !

40KG cannot be transported easily. He must have got a 100Kg consignment and only 40Kg left. But Police will not follow to the top and check all the details of the full local operation but just put the blame on Dubai. Pur drama only.
