RAB representative (then head of RAB headquarters) Sarwar bin Kashem spoke about the increase in drug stocks at the meeting. He said drug traffickers are changing routes frequently and have increased drug stocks even amid the Corona epidemic. He added that the trend of increasing abuse of phencyclidine is also being observed again.
Officials from various forces on the ground said in an informal discussion that there was no way to prevent Yaba from entering. Statistics show that there is not much difference this year from the situation in 2019 in terms of drug recovery. Last year, the Department of Narcotics Control, the Police, the RAB, the Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB) and the Coast Guard together recovered 34 million yaba. In the 9 months from January to October this year, 2 crore 79 lakh yaba were recovered in Corona.
Although the government meeting informally announced an increase in drug supplies, the forces did not recognize the increase in drug stocks when Prothom Alo was contacted. Spokesperson for the police headquarters and deputy inspector general. Sohail Rana told Prothom Alo that they have no information that the stock of drugs has increased in the country. Statistics of drugs seized by the police at different times give an idea of the increase and decrease of drugs. A comparative analysis of the statistics of the last few years does not support any claim of this type of increase in drug stocks. Apart from this, there is no specific drug storage system in Bangladesh from which such a clear idea can be obtained.
