Pakistan's security forces have intensified their efforts in combating the growing issue of drug trafficking across the country, with ongoing operations to eliminate illicit drug trade. Since September 2023, a total of 1,062.894 metric tons of various narcotics have been seized by law enforcement agencies in coordinated raids across the nation.
In addition to the significant drug seizures, over 2,350 drug dealers have been arrested, demonstrating the effectiveness of the country’s crackdown on drug-related crimes. The government's efforts aim to ensure the country is fully rid of drugs and to protect the youth from the dangers of narcotics.
Just last week, security forces apprehended 12 drug dealers and confiscated 326.800 kilograms of narcotics in operations conducted nationwide.
Authorities have made it clear that the operations are part of a larger, sustained effort to eliminate the illegal drug trade, sending a strong message to drug traffickers. As part of these ongoing initiatives, security forces are working in coordination with other government agencies to tighten control over the flow of narcotics into the country.
