Abnormal things always happen in Manipur. When heroin number four was available abundantly at least 10 youths in every Leikai resorted to deadly powder. All of sudden the memory of Golden Triangle and Golden Crescent has been revived. No wonder big shots and their family members contributed to reviving this memory. Involvement of big shots in the illegal trade of exporting intoxicating drugs to neighbouring foreign country using porous border Manipur share with Myanmar indicates this must be a very lucrative business. Yet none knows how much one can gain by spending a few lakhs of rupees on the contraband drugs. The police personnel, who have quizzed those involved in the illegal trade will be able to throw light how much one can make out of the illegal trade. There will be lots of stories that will be interesting to know. How do they establish contact with the smugglers on the other side of the boundary and how the drugs are smuggled out? Like the scientists, who conceal their findings police keep the secret between the teeth and the mouth. But journalists are different. They are habituated to disclosing everything they know. If the seizure was made by reporters they would have narrated everything they know from the day the drug was loaded to the day it was seized. In between there will be story about how it was brought to Manipur by air or by bus. It is a long process. Everything will be interesting to know. If one makes the disclosure blow by blow account of how it was finally packed in Imphal for the final transportation to Myanmar the story will be like a hot cake. Everyone in Manipur will like to read such story. Will the story end at Pallel, where the seizure was made. Will illegal trade on drug end with this episode? It is likely to end here. It will take another four or five years to revive this illegal trade. Now instructions had been sounded to check every vehicle including those used by VIPs moving towards Moreh and also those coming from Moreh. In the past simple women could move freely, leisurely and merrily but since some of them acted as courier using their bags in carrying deadly bombs they have been heavily scanned and checked even on the day of religious congregation. Now VIPs too will be checked on the road in the same manner one is x-rayed while entering airport tarmac. This will be abnormal activities something not to be seen in any parts of the world. But this is not the creation of simple and lay men. Big shots give damn to something that simple men are scary about. A simple man cannot even think of doing such business let alone carrying them to Myanmar. Unfortunately small traders, who bring some chappal and T shirts, are checked on the high way road between Moreh and Imphal while leaving big shots free. This incident has turned out eye opener. The small time business men will enjoy the pleasure of doing their business. Because the focus now will be on big shots. Enjoy the trip to Moreh.
