Golden crescent and Golden triangle

*WHAT IS GOLDEN CRESCENT?*🤔🌙

🔖 The clandestine land routes of *Iran🇮🇷, Afghanistan🇦🇫 and Pakistan🇵🇰* collectively constitute the *Golden Crescent,* also called the *silk route of drugs.*💊
It's
🔖 the route through which the drug cartels enter *India*🇮🇳 ; mainly *Punjab* .

🔖 *Heroin, poppy husk, opium, and synthetic drugs* are the four kind of drugs entering India.



WHAT IS GOLDEN TRIANGLE?🔽

Along with *Afghanistan*🇦🇫 in the *Golden Crescent* , it has been one of the most extensive opium-producing areas of Asia and of the world since the 1950s.

Most of the world's heroin came from the Golden Triangle until the early 21st century when Afghanistan became the *world's largest producer.*

The Golden Triangle designates the confluence of the *Ruak River and the Mekong River,* since the term has been appropriated by the Thai tourist industry to describe the nearby border tripoint of *Thailand🇹🇭, Laos🇱🇦 and Myanmar🇲🇲.*
