History of the Department of Narcotics Control
Introduction to the Department of Narcotics Control

The use of drugs is very ancient in the socio-economic, cultural and historical context of Bangladesh. The British East India Company started the first opium cultivation and opium business in India for their commercial interests and issued a farman and appointed some officers for it. The British made a lot of money by producing opium in India, exporting it to other parts of the world, including China, and opening opium shops in this country.
