Stop phensidyl marketing
O H Kabir
We have made enquiries with narcotic officials, police and BDR personnel, railway guards, bus and truck drivers, medical and drug stores and many others. They have told us that phensidyl is not produced in our country, there is not a single phensedyl factory in our country.
Where from, how and why thousands of bottles of phensidyl are being sold in almost all cities, towns, markets and bazaars of Bangladesh?
In many areas of West Bengal and Assam of India bordering Bangladesh, Indian Marwaris have set up phensidyl factories and they are producing huge quantities of phensidyl for consumption in Bangladesh for their financial interest.
They in collaboration with some Bangladeshi terrorists and miscreants smuggle out thousands of bottles of Indian phensidyl for marketing and sale in our country and earn crores of taka every year at the cost of sweat and blood of our poor people.
The affects of phensidyl are very dreadful and harmful. Our people, mostly the young generation, unemployed youths, students and frustrated poor workers get intoxicated with phensidyl and they commit all sorts of crimes -- hijacking, rape and murder.
We don't understand why different law enforcing authorities have so far failed to stop smuggling of phensedyl from India.
We are also surprised why our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not lodged any protest with its Indian counterpart or raised the question of illegal production of phensidyl in West Bengal and Assam and large scale smuggling into Bangladesh at the SAARC conference or the SAARC Secretariat as yet?
We would also like to mention here that different government organisations and NGO's in our country are making an all out campaign against smoking and Aids but we are shocked to see that they are not taking any action to stop phensedyl consumption by the future generation of our country.
