A Coast Guard pilot spotted a suspicious boat on Barren Island in Andaman and Nicobar during routine surveillance.

Reasons for large-scale drug seizure

Drug smuggling seriously affects not only the security of the country but also health security, political stability, and economic development. According to media reports, the current market of drug smuggling in the whole world is about 650 billion dollars. At the same time, it is 30 percent of the illegal economy in the whole world. It is India's misfortune that the country is trapped in the Golden Triangle of drug smuggling. Myanmar is the largest producer of opium after Afghanistan and the largest supplier of heroin. Due to this drugs are smuggled on a large scale from Myanmar to the northeastern states of India.
