RASC News Agency: According to reliable sources in Herat province, the Taliban has returned confiscated narcotics to a smuggler. The group allegedly seized over 30 kilograms of opium and methamphetamine from a house in the Gozara district.

Sources claim that the Taliban returned the confiscated drugs to the smuggler 24 hours later, citing a call from Helmand as the reason for their actions. It remains unclear whose phone call prompted the Taliban to return the narcotics to the smuggler.

in the meantime Sources from Ghor province have reported the theft of 230 kilograms of opium and methamphetamine-type narcotics from the local security command. These drugs had been collected from smugglers and farmers in the area and were intended to be destroyed, but instead were stolen by thieves.

According to the sources, the thieves emptied the narcotics bags and replaced their contents with sugar and flour to conceal the theft. Meanwhile, the anti-narcotics director of the Ghor province security command, who stands accused of involvement in the theft, has reportedly fled the province and remains at large.

Despite the Taliban’s professed efforts to curb drug production and trafficking, numerous reports have emerged of arrests for drug cultivation, production, and trafficking across various provinces in the country.

Concurrently, the United Nations crime department has issued a report indicating that the production of methamphetamine in Afghanistan has persisted and even escalated during the Taliban’s rule.
