ONCB devising new antinarcotics special law

The new secretary-general of the Office of the Narcotics Control Board will propose to Justice Minister General Paiboon Koomchaya implementing a special law aimed at reducing the use of precursors and other chemicals in the manufacturing of illicit drugs.

Announcing the ONCB’s policies for 2016 Monday, Narong Rattananukul said the regional cooperation of law enforcement agencies would be emphasised especially via the Safe Mekong Coordination Centre. 
The centre will host a meeting this month for Thailand, China, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam to establish antidrug policies with a particular focus on preventing the smuggling of precursors.
