The document discusses drug trafficking routes in Bangladesh. It notes that Bangladesh lies near the Golden Triangle region of Southeast Asia, which produces much of the world's opium and heroin. As a result, Bangladesh has become a key transit country for drugs trafficked from the Golden Triangle to destinations in Europe, the Middle East, and other regions. The document outlines the various overland, river, and air routes used to traffic drugs through Bangladesh and identifies Dhaka as a major transit hub. It estimates that 100,000 people in Bangladesh are involved in the drug trafficking trade.
