Fight narcotic drugs with people’s power

In the world today, narcotic drugs production and trafficking is the problem facing many nations and there has been widespread use of raw opium, heroin, opium oil, liquid opium, marijuana and psychotropic substances produced with the use of chemicals.
The menace of narcotic drugs is the concern of the entire mankind. Drug abuse brings undesirable consequences not only to users but also to their families and social environment. As the danger of narcotic drugs affects every individual and every nation, it is necessary for the international community to fight it.
The threat of narcotic drugs is still enormous as there is a widespread use of psychotropic substances among the youth all over the world. They are using various kinds of drugs in various ways and therefore it is required to educate them on the dangers of drug abuse.
Myanmar has been implementing the 15-year plan for elimination of narcotic drugs since 1999 and making major strides in its anti-drug campaign due to the cooperation of the people.
Drug traffickers operate mainly in border areas. Therefore, Myanmar is also working together with her neighbours and other nations in the region to wipe out narcotic drugs. In June and at the beginning of July, a large amount of raw opium, liquid opium, heroin blocks and psychotropic
substances were siezed in Kachin State, Shan State, Mandalay Division and Sagaing Division through combined efforts of responsible personnel and local people.
As various kinds of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances are threatening the mankind and their social environment, it is necessary for regional authorities, special anti-drug squads and the people to constantly raise the momentum of the anti-drug campaign till the danger of narcotic drugs is wiped out from our soil once and for all.

Work together for conservation of natural teak forests

Myanmar has laid down the objectives for the forest sector and these objectives are aimed at national socio-economic development and environmental and ecological balance.In the world, Myanmar, India, Thailand and Laos are the countries where teak trees grow naturally. The teak of Myanmar has been the best and the most popular. Because of Myanmar's terrestrial, aquatic and climatic conditions, the number of naturallygrowing teak trees has been on the increase and the Bago mountain range is home to world-famous teak trees.
Natural teak forests cover about half of the nation's area. According to the records of Forest Department before 1990, there is a total of 27.29 million hectares of teak forests in the world and, out of it, 16.25 million hectares are in Myanmar. There are 12.53 million acres of teak forests in the Bago mountain range alone.
A teak-planting ceremony was held in the Margri forest reserve in Taikkyi Township on 11 July to green the Bago mountain range.
Also in Shwetaung Township, Pyay District, Bago Division, Forest Department had teak saplings planted in an acre of land in each village and three teak saplings in the compound of each household. The teak of Myanmar is famous worldwide. Therefore, young teak trees are grown at tree-planting ceremonies in the rainy season every year to prevent the depletion of teak forests.
We would like to call on the entire national people to work together for the conservation of natural resources, especially forest resources, for the sake of the environment and national economic development.
