MAIDAN SHAR: A clandestine drug laboratory was detected and destroyed in the country’s eastern province of Maidan Wardak, a statement from the provincial counter-narcotics office said Monday.
Four people, allegedly, members of the drug-producing factory have also been arrested during the operation of the joint and coordinated forces in Sayed Abad district of the province, the statement said.
The laboratory was said to process a type of narcotic to be transferred to the country’s southern Helmand province, where it is turned into methamphetamine and other types of drugs, said the source.
The latest counterdrug operation comes as the Islamic Emirate, after rising to power, vowed to accelerate drug elimination programs across the country.
