Police in Punakha say drug abuse is becoming a growing problem in the district.
Five men have been arrested for illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs cases so far this year. They were all arrested following tip-off.
Over 500 Spasmo Proxyvon Plus (SP+) capsules and more than 100 grams of cannabis were seized from them.
The detainees, aged 20 to 30, tested positive for SP+ and marijuana.
Police said they have stepped up efforts to combat drug abuse in the district, but challenges are many, such as manpower shortage and lack of public cooperation.
Police are targeting marijuana smuggling. Easy availability of the plant, they say, presents formidable challenges to combating its abuse.
