AGARTALA, Feb 18 (TIWN) Along emerging in corruption in Tripura, state is also emerging as hub in drug trafficking sector.

State government failed to make inroads the private industrial sector in our state even to provide vacancy to the youth therefore the state government emerging drug trafficking that  youth earn something from its. State government is doing just nothing to stop drug trafficking in our state. They are playing the role of audience.

Day by day drug trafficking very rapidly in our state. Innocent youth became a easy victim of drug trafficking .

Large parts of Bangladesh and Myanmar are emerging as drug consuming zones, and bordering areas of Tripura are contributing to the fast-emerging drugs market.

While hundreds of smugglers based in Tripura are sending spurious Phensedyl, a cough syrup, with an exceedingly high dose of codeine and other drugs to Bangladesh virtually by the truckload, hundreds of acres of remote land in West Tripura have become sprawling ganja plantations.

Phensedyl is extremely popular in Bangladesh where liquor consumption is banned. Taking advantage of the situation, some unscrupulous traders of Tripura are smuggling the cough syrup across the border.

And it earns huge money. The Phensedyl smuggling would, in future, become a major deterrent to better Indo-Bangla relations," said a government official. The official did not want to be named, but added already at diplomatic levels in Dhaka, serious concern has been raised over the smuggling of cough syrup to their country from India.

The drug demand in Bangladesh has not only given rise to Phensedyl smuggling; hundreds of farmers have discarded their traditional crops and are now engaged in ganja cultivation in West Tripura district.

"Hundreds of acres in Konaban, Madhupur, Boxanagar and some parts of Kalamchoura have turned into ganja gardens.

There have also been incidents when senior police officials, including SP rank officers, were attacked by ganja farmers when they went to destroy the plantations.Cough syrups and ganja are not the only drugs being in demand in the neighbouring country.

Of late, Bangladesh has also become the favoured destination for yaba pills, popularly known as 'Nazi speed' or 'Bhool Bhulaiya' tablets.

Yaba is a brightly-coloured tablet made of methamphetamine and caffeine. It is also called 'Nazi speed' for its massive use by the German military during the Second World War.

Due to drug trafficking the number of domestic violence are getting high.
