Dhaka, Mar 24 (UNB) - India has promised of demolishing all unauthorized phensidyl factories within its territory, a perilous drug smuggled to Bangladesh.

The assurance was made at the two-day talks between drug control nodal agencies of Bangladesh and India at the Director General level here that ended today.

Sources close to the meeting told UNB that the home side handed over to the Indian team a list of 51 factories operating inside their country including some close to the border which produced phensidyl only targeting Bangladesh as its market.

The meeting also discussed sharing information of latest routes and spots of drug trafficking across the border and flow of new drugs other than phensidyl into Bangladesh.

It was the 2nd high level meeting. The 15-member home team was led Director General of Narcotics Control department Khandaker Mohammad Ali while his Indian counterpart OPS Malik led the 11-member team. The first meeting was held in New Delhi in 2009.

Briefing newsmen after the talks Malik said illegal drug is a common problem for both the neighboring countries. It needs strengthening the mechanism and coordinated efforts to address problem.

About the list of phensidyle factories he said they would verify and promised to destroy illegal operation of such factories.

Khandaker Mohammad Ali said the discussion was held in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. He hoped that the phensidyl factories would be destroyed as promised the OPS Malik. “We shared information about latest routes and various spots used in drug trafficking. Both sides agreed to cooperate to eliminate drug trafficking.”

Well it's still a promise and no one will buy it unless it becomes reality. Those drug factories are really messing up the lads across the border, is it so hard for them to understand? Surprisingly the news isn't new as the requests were being made for a decade but still nothing fruitful .

Why don't you Bangladeshis deploy some of your border guards on your border, so that such drugs do not find their into Bangladesh?

Being hostile is not the answer. Its easy to smuggle stuffs bribing BSF and BGB therefore the solution should be on dissolving the factories which really doesn do anything worthwhile for your countries economy anyways.

Well the thing is, Phensidyl is legal in India, as it is an ingredient of cough syrups and used to treat Anaphylaxis, Vertigo, Motion Sickness.
Maybe if the govt insists..it will close down the factories close to the border but if there is demand in Bangladesh, this drug will still find its way from further inland.

So your basic problem is the smuggling and not the drug...now you know, why we are building a fence..maye you should build one too.

80% of our demands are supplied by domestic pharmaceutical companies, they are also buying off foreign labs this days so I don't think it's demand is for anything useful. Rather it gets used up on spoiled brats and their parents will blame no one else other then people across the border.

Smuggling is a complicated factor and I'm not sure if it can be stopped by building a fence although I hope it reduces considerably after construction. Whatever the case is the easiest solution is to restrict phensydil activities adjacent to the border. The factories not adjacent to our borders aren't our concern.

Is there a drug addiction problem in BD? I saw an episode of lockedup abroad in Bangladesh. They said BD is one f the main transit points for drugs. in the world.

 

[integra]

Yes it is an important transit point because it lies between India and East Asia with a considerable traffic volume(no matter how much we try to stop it). Addiction has decreased a lot from previous times as youngsters are more busy on games. Although the creative community has to take its inspiration.........from stuffs
Still it should be considerably less than India as even alcoholic drinks are banned over here.

India does not have this problem because alcohol is not banned here. However there are poor people who cant afford nomal liquor and try to drink local made brew which can kill.
There have been many such cases of death, now a days it is much less due to affordability of cheap liquor.
Govt should make beer tax free to fight this issue.

Bangladesh should also build high fence in a distance of about 500meters from Indian Fence....and BGB guard the border so that no bangladeshi or indian can tresspass
Then there would be no problem...
Plz do it...

For now, it is the Indian govt's bullshit promise, and not about building fences by BD. India has built fence, but it has allowed hundreds of drug factories around this fence for making it a laughable thing. Anyway, I have never found that India keeps its promises. Indian people have a cunning type of mentality, they are born with this trait. They are not in a position to keep their promise that may hurt their own profits. They have a BANIYA mentality and they feel proud of it. It is disgusting. I do not expect India to keep its promise.

[blackops]

Build up fences thats the best way dor it i see no point in forcing them to shut down the factories once fences are made demand goes down they will automaticaly shut down

 

[Wonderer]

Phensidyl is your problem, not ours as it is legal in India..so deploy forces on border, build a fence, or build a wall to prevent it from entering your border..we do not care.
Our govt has made gesture..that it will close down its perfectly legal factories..which I think is an overkill...whether it closes it or not..is not your concern..you make your own arrangements and not depend on us.
