Prevent the spread of drugs online

Addiction to drugs is a multifaceted and complex problem. In terms of the number of drug addicts, Bangladesh ranks seventh in the world. Although Bangladesh is not a drug-producing country, its geographical location makes it a victim of drug aggression. As a result, a significant amount of money is flowing out of the country for drug imports. Additionally, drug traffickers are laundering this illegal money abroad to keep it safe, severely damaging the country's economy. Considering all aspects, the government has declared zero tolerance for eradicating drugs from the country. However, experts believe that the results of this zero-tolerance policy are still not satisfactory.
