Shimla, June 13 Organised crime groups are expanding and diversifying the production of synthetic drugs in Himachal Pradesh, known to be Asias largest bulk drug manufacturing hub, raising concerns that the state could emerge as a hub for opioids like Tramadol.

The police say they are handing over financial investigation of opioid trafficking cases to the Enforcement Directorate
