Drug menace to be eliminated like terrorism -
Defence Secretary

 

The drug menace will be eliminated from society, just like terrorism, stated Secretary of Defence Gotabaya Rajapaksa, in an interview with the ITN channel yesterday (Oct 26).

The law enforcement authorities of the country are dedicated towards cracking down on illegal drugs, narcotics and illegal weapons, he added.

He emphasized that many operations have been undertaken to arrest many underworld gang members and also seize their weapons. The country's security forces including Army and Navy, and also specially trained troops have been involved in these operations, he said.
