These include liquid lead, LSD, crystal meth ice, chemicals for making opium, phensedyl, various types of foreign liquor and marijuana.

We want to send a clear message that any attempt to smuggle drugs using the country’s border will be suppressed.
Brigadier General Mahmudul Hasan, Commander of the South-West Region of the BGB, said that the BGB is preventing the possibility of drug smuggling at the border. In addition, the campaign against drug trafficking continues. Today’s action is not only part of the legal process, but also a tangible reflection of the national commitment to building a drug-free country.
