It is a good thing if the drug is found to cross the borders in the Corona lockdown, but it is astonishing if the drug being used for intoxication crosses the borders despite the strictness of the lockdown. According to the old practice, a banned drug illegally from India is still reaching Badastur Bangladesh. His name is Phandedil. The demand for the drug is so high that smugglers are taking the risk of sending the drug to the Bangladesh border by breaking the lockdown. If he encounters BSF near the border, his misfortune is a different matter, otherwise, as usual, the medicine border crosses and his pau twelve.
Like India, the corona infection is spreading in Bangladesh. It is different that there are currently 164 cases of corona in Bangladesh. Banned Fensedil crossing the restrictions of lockdown in India, the people of Bangladesh are being transported by smugglers to enjoy the fun of drunk. Banned in India since 2016, this drug has nothing to do with the battle of Corona. This medicine is used to cure cough. There is a huge demand for this drug in Bangladesh's border areas and elsewhere. The merge is not used to cure but is used for intoxication.
In India, the price of this medicine has been reported to be around 155 rupees, whereas in Bangladesh it was previously 500 taka, now it has reached 1000-1200 taka. According to a BSF official, the empty bottle of Phensedyl is also sold for fifty rupees in areas across the border. In many places, people drink hot water by adding it. They feel intoxicated in this.
Smuggling business is going on smoothly
Despite the lockdown in India, Fensedil smugglers are reaching the border daily. They live in such a situation that wherever they get an opportunity at the international border, the medicine is delivered to Bangladesh. To bring this medicine to the limit, smugglers use such methods that have never been seen or heard before.
The BSF officer said that we get information from Border Guard Bangladesh that there are factories for making phensedyls in many districts of West Bengal. We convey this to the district authorities. However, it does not matter.
Fencedil is being caught daily on South Bengal Frontier in lockdown
The border of West Bengal with Bangladesh is named as the South Bengal Frontier with BSF. In this area, on April 7, Fensedil worth 27 thousand rupees, which was filled in 277 vials, has been seized.
1450 vials on 5 April, 397 on 4 April, 217 on 3 April, 407 on 2 April and 1105 vial Fensedil on 1 April. Similarly, 274 on 30 March, 406 on 30, 452 on 29 March 1160 on 28, 286 on 26 and 1283 vials of Fensedil have been seized on 25 March.
According to a Bangladesh agency, 7,79,214 bottles of phensedyls were caught in 2019 and 7,15,529 vials in 2018. The drug is now reaching Myanmar besides Bangladesh. Its demand can be gauged from the fact that earlier the price of a bottle was 300-500, now its price has increased to more than 1,200. Since this drug is more strictly banned in Bangladesh, it is manufactured and transported there by smugglers in India. According to the official, its supply in lockdown is also not stopping. In 2016, India banned the production and marketing of about 350 fixed-dose combinations (FDC) drugs, including cuff syrup fencedil.
Apart from West Bengal, Fensedil is ready in other states as well.
In October 2019, 20 thousand bottles of Fensedil near Prayagraj were recovered by the police. Fensadil was being loaded onto a truck and taken to Kolkata. During July 2018, such cases have also been reported in Bareilly. The crime branch of Delhi Police raided here. In November 2017, the Drug Control Department of the Delhi government busted a gang that was illegally transporting fencedil cuff syrup from Delhi to Bangladesh and Myanmar.
According to the report of the Narcotics Control Department of Bangladesh, Fensedil has illegal factories in the Tura region of Meghalaya, Krishnanagar, Berhampur, Malda and Falakata in West Bengal.
