These drug smugglers are really foolish that they cannot know the contraband items brought into the state will be seized upon entering Manipur. There are informers, who are well paid by security agencies for supplying information regarding the movement of contraband items. Even the suppliers could have turned approver the moment truck departs their shop. By feeding information of the contraband items buried among the bags of cement or in the gas cylinder these informers or suppliers had got benefit in the same manner a stone killing two birds. One from the buyer and another for feeding information. Huge amount of money is wasted in doing illegal business. Whatever income that one makes from doing illegal business will flow down the drain. Because the habit will not desist you from doing the illegal business again and again and the hefty income associated with the business will embolden you to go for it again but the moment you are caught everything will be ruined and the society will ostracise you. Instances are not lacking too many Manipuri drug smugglers are languishing in the jails of different parts of the country. These smugglers moved together with ganja or heroin no. 4, so they were caught and put behind bar. Heroin and ganja are cheap here but costly outside the state. When Manipur hosted National Games in the past those from Maharastra engaged for kitchen running for preparation of vegetables and peeling off onion and garlic returned with huge bundles of ganja. They said a kg of ganja worth Rs 200 in Manipur can fetch Rs 2000 in their state. They smoked ganja fearlessly in the bus which was carrying them back to Guwahati. When reminded consumption of ganja at public place and carrying of the same item in public transport vehicle is banned, they indicated surprise. They then concealed their items. But it was National Games and there were no frisking operation anywhere all along the entire stretch of the national highway from Imphal to Guwahati. Even Nagaland set free all the buses with the banner national games. Similarly there is heavy demand for drugs in Manipur as it is odourless and youngsters take it as a fashion. It cannot be detected by parents and elders. The detection comes only when the users speak incoherently and cheeks are sunken. That will be too late. Therefore appeal is made to the smugglers not to indulge in such type of business of selling contraband drugs on the soil of Manipur. Drugs threaten to wipe out a generation. If you are enemy of the land, that is a different thing. But these smugglers are sons of the soil. Drug smuggling has been taken up in Manipur as a lucrative business. Amazingly it happens in Manipur the kingpin always escapes scot free without getting punishment. Therefore all out efforts should be made to establish the link between the owner and the seized banned items. The shop or the manufacturing companies might be having the address of the person, who ordered for delivery of the items. If they do not cooperate with the investigation agency legal action can be taken against the supplier for these drugs are used for a different purpose. It is no longer used as pharmaceutical items. Hence the call for intensification of the drive against drug smugglers.
