AGARTALA, Sep 28 (TIWN): As Durga Puja is coming closer demands for narcotics is high across Tripura. With the making of puja pandles, the manufacturing of Ganaja, Charas and importing of various other drugs is much rampant in state and businessmen are busy to fill their go-downs with such goods.

A large number of those narcotic which are also supplied to the neighboring countries is based on Sonamura subdivision, under Sepahijala Dist.

Sonamura, which is often called as the Mini Pakistan of Tripura, has become the corruption den for Police and other security forces. Crossing all limitations for illegal production, Ganja cultivation is much open and wide in Sonamura.

Apart from Ganja cultivation Sonamura border is also used to pass humans illegally to Bangladesh and the Bangladeshis with a bad intention entering in Tripura’s land with the exchange of little cashes to Police. All of them works in an organized manner to promote terrorism, and narcotic business in state.

Although Ganja cultivation was fully banned in India, but at Sonmaura subdivision people are openly doing cannabis cultivation. Then through out the year the circulation of Ganja is smoothly held under the shelter of Tripura Police.

Narcotic business is also rampant in North Tripura, although the narcotic circulation there mostly based on illegal intrusion of those items from NE states. However, police many times nabbed many smugglers but due to open pass allowed at Tripura-Mizoram border the narcotic business is spreading its wings fast.

Tripura’s drug trafficking duties, which are mostly given to the police  are just not enough with the increasing rate of drug-business.

As Durga Puja is coming closer so this is the high time for businessmen to gather every kind of narcotic in their shops. Not a surprise, many shop-keepers with the interest of high profits, are selling openly drugs to the customers from their go-downs.

Durga Puja which has become almost like a lunatic party vacation for young generation, is using as the highest  business period for a section of shop-keepers who not only drugs, but sell liquors (illegally) during puja time in double price especially after midnight.
