The joint forces' raid on the Haji Mazar slum in Tongi is truly a major event. This slum has long been a hub for wholesale drug trafficking and various drugs are smuggled from here to different parts of the country. The army, police, RAB, and BGB members have participated in the raid, which indicates its importance and significance.
Sixty people have been arrested here, including drug dealers and identified terrorists. Drugs and money were recovered in the operation, and it is reported that such operations will continue throughout the month of Ramadan. This is at least a step towards taking action against the drug trade, especially in an area where drug trafficking is regular and open.
Since this is a major operation and many drug dealers gather here, its results could set the stage for larger operations in the future. The government's tough action could be a positive step towards a drug-free society.
