Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Friday said that elements from neighbouring Myanmar are involved in narcotic business in the state and that the government will continue its war against the drug menaceꦚ.
The chief minister’s statement came after the state police seized 20.26 kg of poppy seeds, four two-wheelers used in Mya𒉰nmar and took into custody two youths in Old Boljang village in Kangpokpi district.
"At a time when the government machinery is actively engaged in destruction of poppy plantations, the recovery of poppy seeds meant foওr sowing of poppy plants and employment of vehicles brought from the neighbouring country has shown that anti-social elements are challenging the administration a✨nd the people," Singh said.
The chief minister called it "unfortunate" that despite con𓆏tinuous recovery of drugs, arrest of those involved in drug trafficking and destruction of poppy plantations, some people are against the drive to wipe out the drug menace in the state.
"Today's development has also shown that elements from Myanmar are activelဣy involved in the drug business in the state," Singh added.
He appealed to anyone involved in th🐷e drug business and poppy plantatiꦅon not to indulge in anti-national and anti-social activities.
Manip𝓡ur share🥂s a porous border of 390 kilometres with Myanmar.
