New Delhi – Drug Addicts in Punjab are shifting to pharmaceutical drugs like Tramadol and Buprenorphine, Home Minister Rajnath Singh was informed by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) DG Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar during a rmeeting . He told Singh that apart from drugs like heroin and cannabis, newer drugs that are synthetic in nature are also entering the market.

According to him, pharmaceutical drugs that are easily available and cheaper are now being abused widely.
