Sri Lanka, Sept. 19 -- The Government Analyst's Department has informed Police that the chemical samples recovered from Middeniya have been confirmed as substances used in the production of Methamphetamine (ICE).

The discovery was made following laboratory tests carried out on the samples seized earlier this month.

Authorities said the findings confirm suspicions that the stockpile was linked to illicit drug manufacturing.
