He said others were “Tramadol, royphenol, pregabalin, lesofan, codeine syrup, molly and Diazepam, among others.”

He said in January, 8,323 kg and 1035 litres of solid and liquid hard substances were withdrawn; in February, above 4119 kg and 038.9 litres of solid and liquid substances were withdrawn.

“In March, 11,045 kg and 18.7 litres of solid and liquid substances were seized.

He further warned the criminal elements who profited from the illegal business to stop the evil act.
