While Kuki-Chin terrorists in Bangladesh’s hill tracts areas as well as Kuki-Zo in Indian state of Manipur are becoming news headlines for the past several weeks due to their separatist activities with the common goal to carve out a Christian state like East Timur taking parts of Bangladesh, India and Myanmar; according to sources, these groups also are involved in cultivation and trafficking of narcotics – including cocaine and marijuana to a number of Western countries by forming alliance with transnational narco-trafficking cartels, including infamous terror-don Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company. As a result, almost hundred percent of Kuki community members in Bangladesh, Myanmar and India have switched from cultivating vegetable or fruits to poppy and marijuana cultivation, as it ensures the substantial amount of cashflow.

In April, 2024, N. Biren Singh, chief minister of Manipur told media, thousands of hectares of land are used for poppy cultivation in areas near the international border with Myanmar.
