Over 27 tonnes of illegal drugs are set to be destroyed tomorrow as part of drug eradication efforts by the Office of Narcotics Control Board (ONCB).

 

Apikit Chrojprasert, Deputy Secretary General of the ONCB, attended an event yesterday, February 4, alongside police and other officials to prepare for the large-scale incineration of illegal drugs.

 

The total weight of drugs confiscated over the past two months is 27.51 tonnes, seized in 151 cases. These include methamphetamine, crystal methamphetamine, heroin, ketamine, cocaine, ecstasy, happy water, and other substances.

 

The ONCB has collaborated with various agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration, the Narcotics Suppression Bureau, the Department of Medical Sciences, the Police Forensic Science Office, and the Highway Police Division to ensure that every step of the destruction process is conducted transparently and monitored closely.

 

 

Apikit stated that all seized drugs undergo scientific testing to confirm their authenticity before destruction. The process strictly follows ONCB regulations, ensuring transparency and public confidence in the eradication of these narcotics.

 

The Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra declared drug suppression a national agenda. The drug incineration ceremony is scheduled to take place at Akkhie Prakarn Public Co Ltd in Samut Prakan.

 

The ONCB will livestream the entire process on its social media platforms, allowing the public to observe and engage in the fight against narcotics, reported Bangkok Post.
