Thai Ganja Smuggled via Myanmar Nationals to India

Kathmandu. It may seem strange to many that marijuana produced in Thailand is brought to Kathmandu via Myanmar carriers using air routes and then smuggled to India using Kathmandu as a transit. The trafficking of narcotics is an illegal and criminal act. It is natural to question why those involved in such criminal activities for the greed of money would adopt such a roundabout and difficult method.

It has been found that the smuggling ring has started using Myanmar nationals to evade the eyes of security personnel deployed at the airport after the police increased surveillance on Nepali and Thai citizens coming from Thailand on suspicion of drug trafficking. Not only this, smugglers also try to evade security personnel by arranging to come to Kathmandu using transit routes other than direct flights from Thailand to Kathmandu. Despite this, the police have been arresting carriers along with the drugs brought in this way.
