23 Dec 2020

Operations to curb drug rings in the country would be further strengthened during next year, Defence Secretary Kamal Gunaratne said yesterday. He said nabbing of many drug-dealing incidents was effective and the recent drop of drug availability in the country has resulted in notable price hikes. Responding to a question he said, “All the operations led to combat underworld and illegal drug dealings are continuing.” Elaborating on restricted spaces in prisons and coronavirus outbreak, he said, “Although we experienced prison space constraints, certainly, we never ceased the fight we began to combat underworld and the drug menace in the past”.
