Home Adviser Lt. Gen. Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury (Retd.)
has asked all concerned to bring the kingpins of illegal drug dealers to book.
"Expose the godfathers of illegal drug traders to
justice. You have to capture not only the carriers, but also kingpins of the
drug dealers," he said. He gave the instruction while exchanging views
with high ups of the Department of Narcotic Control (DNC) at Segunbagicha here
in the capital city on Tuesday morning. The Home Adviser asked the DNC
officials to intensify the drives against drugs during the ongoing joint raids
across the nation and submit its progress report daily. "Your performances
will be evaluated based on your success on this matter," he said. He asked
the DNC officials to work sincerely to stamp out illicit drug trading from the
society, otherwise the future generation, families, society and state would
face dire consequences. "We have to check drug abuse by any means,"
he said. The home adviser said the DNC officials have own uniform, but have no
arms or weapons. "It is necessary to give them arms for conducting
successful drives. Measures will be taken to this end," he assured.
He also suggested the DNC to take support from police or
other law enforcement agencies in case of conducting any risky operation. Jahangir
Alam Chowdhury called for reducing corruption, saying, "Success of the
interim government will not come if fails to reduce graft." The home
adviser asked the DNC officials to keep them away from taking bribe and
committing corruption. Senior Secretary at the Security Services Division Md
Mashiur Rahman and DNC Director General (DG) Khondoker Mostafizur Rahman, among
others, were present.
