What Happens to drugs seized? – By Dr Tilak S. Fernando The Central Postal Exchange Division officers of Sri Lanka seized parcels addressed to Borelesgamuwa, Wellawatte, Minuwangoda and Thalamgama areas sent from the United States and Canada. A person came to collect the packages. When the customs officials inspected them in front of the person who came to collect the parcels in the presence of the Police Narcotics Bureau on May 16, these parcels contained “Kush”, and the person was handed over to the police for further investigation. ‘Kush’ is a new drug in Sri Lanka, as “Ice” is quite dangerous and is the ‘popular’ drug that speedily spreads among schoolchildren and adults.
