NCB dismantles Nepal-India-Sri Lanka narcotics network; 77 kg hashish oil seized, 5 held

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has successfully dismantled a significant cross-border drug trafficking network that operated between Nepal, India, and Sri Lanka. In a recent operation, authorities arrested five individuals and seized an impressive 77 kg of hashish oil, which was being smuggled from Nepal to Sri Lanka via Indian territory. This crackdown highlights the growing challenges posed by international narcotics trafficking in the region. The NCB's efforts come as part of a broader initiative to tackle drug-related crimes and enhance cooperation among neighboring countries in combating drug smuggling. The agency has intensified its operations to apprehend those involved in such illicit activities, aiming to disrupt the supply chain and reduce the availability of narcotics in the Indian subcontinent. The arrest of the traffickers marks a significant step in the fight against drug abuse and trafficking, which remains a pressing issue in the region, affecting public health and safety. As authorities continue to investigate the network's operations, further arrests and seizures are anticipated, as the NCB aims to maintain pressure on drug syndicates operating in South Asia.
