Chittagong: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Saturday said Bangladesh is facing the evil effects of drugs mane in neighbouring India and Myanmar.  

The minister came up with the remarks while addressing a programme arranged to destroy seized drugs at the Rapid Action Battalion-7 (RAB-7) headquarters of Patenga in Chittagong.  

‘We’re regularly communicating with India and Myanmar to prevent the smuggling of drugs to our country,’ he added.
