Govt's war on drugs launched to last 90 days
The government has launched a new round of drug crackdown in a ceremony presided over by Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat on Thursday.
The war on drugs is scheduled between November and January.
In his speech, Somchai encouraged authorities to devote their full attention to fight trafficking although he cautioned them that his government would not condone silent killings which mired the 2003 campaign against illicit drugs.
The fight against traffickers will strictly follow the prescribed legal proceedings, he said.
He called for the step-up of awareness campaign for young people to realise the harmful effects of drug abuse.
