In a significant operation, Tokyo police and customs authorities recently intercepted a large quantity of ketamine, an anesthetic drug, that was smuggled into Japan through Haneda airport concealed in two suitcases. This seizure is considered one of the largest to date in the region.

The illicit drugs were discovered during a routine inspection at Haneda airport on Friday, underscoring the vigilance of law enforcement in combatting drug trafficking. Ketamine, a powerful anesthetic often abused as a recreational drug, has been a growing concern globally due to its addictive properties and harmful effects on users.

Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, commented that this interception demonstrates the importance of cooperation between authorities to prevent the illegal distribution of narcotics. He emphasized the need for continued vigilance and stringent measures to curb the influx of drugs into the country, safeguarding public health and safety.
