Raise momentum in control of narcotic drugs

There has been drug production and trafficking in the world resulting in social problems in the societies related to the drug addicts and drug traffickers.
The youths in the nations of the world abused stimulants in various forms and the danger of drug problem is still great in the world. In Myanmar, the government enacts Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law. According to the law, deterrent actions have to be taken against drug addicts, those who are in possession of drugs and traffickers. The government launched anti-drug campaigns with greater momentum in law enforcement sector. In February, a total of 183 drug cases were exposed and action was taken against the culprits.
At the same time, the government in cooperation with local people destroys poppy plantations in illegal poppy growing regions. In February, poppy plantations were destroyed in some regions in northern, southern and eastern parts of Shan State and Kachin State. Over 7,000 acres of poppy plantations have been destroyed in the present poppy cultivation season in states and divisions. Stimulant tablets including chemical precursors used in production of opium, heroin and other narcotic drugs pose a threat to mankind and its social environment.
To overcome these problems, nations across the world have to promote cooperation at the regional, sub-regional and bilateral levels. The government and the entire national people are to strive vigorously through the national plan to eradicate narcotic drugs in the country.
