Myanmar opium surge fuels heroin trafficking in Northeast India

There's been a big increase in heroin smuggling into Northeast India from Myanmar.

This is because Myanmar is growing a lot more poppy plants, which are used to make heroin.

The seizures of heroin in India have gone up a lot in the last few years.

Myanmar is now the biggest source of illegal opium in the world.

The money from selling opium is very important for farmers in Myanmar because the country is having a lot of problems.

The heroin is being smuggled through forests in Manipur.

The way poppy plants are being grown in Myanmar has also become more advanced, leading to more heroin being made and smuggled.
