The Police Narcotics Bureau said that 116 kilos and 768 grams of Kerala ganja were found yesterday hidden in a secret compartment of the tipper, which had been in the custody of the Mannar court for more than a month, arrested for transporting a consignment of Kerala ganja.
According to information received by the Police Narcotics Bureau that a cargo of Kerala ganja brought from India by sea was being transported in a tipper; This tipper was checked in Mannar on November 22. There, 24 kilos and 200 grams of ganja were found in this tipper.
There, the Police Narcotics Bureau arrested the driver and another person on suspicion. Both of them are still in remand. The tipper was in judicial custody. The owners of the tipper have made a lot of effort to free it from the custody of the court. During the investigation, the officers of the Police Narcotics Bureau found that there is a large stock of ganja in a secret chamber, so they are trying to free the tipper.
Accordingly, during the inspection of the tipper with the help of the Police Special Task Force yesterday at the court itself, it was possible to find the cannabis stock in a secret compartment of the tipper.
I cannot agree. What have these claimants to “good hands” done to reduce imports and increase exports? Banning the imports of some goods is not the real answer. In the 1970s, Mrs B banned the import of some goods. Remember? It brought no permanent cure. The “good hands” are doing the same thing now. History repeats because of “good hands” like these. We need better hands than these. Now these “good hands” are trying to build nuclear power plants. What is the cost? Do we have the money? Do we have the required know how? If the people allow it, Sri Lanka will never be able to emerge from the debt trap it is in. The only beneficiaries will be the political decision makers and their acolytes. How? They’ll be able to make big bucks as commissions.As usual. I am ready to discuss further. Please name the date and time and place. A happy new year to you.
