Family On South Carolina Vacation Pulls 44 pounds of Cocaine From Ocean
By Associated Press
FRIPP ISLAND, S.C. — A family visiting South Carolina fished a big package from the ocean, took it to their rental home and opened it up, finding about 44 pounds of cocaine.
Beaufort County Sheriff's Maj. Bob Bromage told news outlets
Monday that the family was walk- ing along Fripp Island when they spotted the trash bag-wrapped package floating in the water. They dragged it onto the beach and lugged it to their rental in a golf cart, later slicing it open to discover bricks of white powder. At that point, they figured they'd better call police.
Authorities assessed the cocaine's value at more than $600,000. Officials are work- ing to determine its origin.
Bromage said narcotics don't frequently wash up in the county. He
thinks Hurricane Dorian may have pushed it ashore
Indian Government Launches
Soap Made By Cow Dung
By Aisha Mahmood
Indian Union Minister Nitin Gadkari who he says is a propo- nent of organic farming, has launched soaps made of cow dung and bam- boo water bot- tles.
These products have been man- ufactured by
Khadi and Village Industries Commission. Speaking on the occasion, Gadkari said that Khadi and Village Industries Commission was very close to Mahatma Gandhiji's
heart. “We need professional, transparent approach with
quality, with good packaging without compro- mising the spirit of our economic thought of Gandhi," Gadkari said.
The cow dung soap which is 125 grams
costs ₹125 each (275PKR). While, the bam- boo water bottle is priced at ₹560 (1235 PKR).
