North East Region is corridor for party drugs
The Telegraph | Guwahati, June 23:
Tablets containing ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are being trafficked from India to Myanmar through the Northeast for preparation of party drugs, particularly amphetamine-type stimulant (ATS).
The zonal director of the Narcotics Control Bureau, Sanjay Kumar, today said ephedrine and pseudoephedrine tablets were smuggled to Myanmar, where these were used to prepare ATS such as ecstasy and speed in clandestine factories.
“From Myanmar, these are then smuggled back to India and other countries,” he said.
Party drugs — also known as synthetic drugs — such as ATS, which are taken as pills, smoked, inhaled or injected, are particularly attractive to young people because they produce a sense of high energy and release of social inhibitions.“Tablets containing ephedrine and pseudoeph-edrine are illegally transported from places like Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh to Manipur and then smuggled to Myanmar,” Kumar said.
