It is often thought of as an ideal transit point for countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nepal. According to the Times of India, of the 40 tonnes of heroin produced in south Asia, nearly 17 tonnes are consumed in India and with a trade value estimated to be $1.4 billion. Heroin has become much more than a bad habit.
