Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) while carrying out a comprehensive counter-narcotics campaign with the resolve to make Pakistan a drug-free country managed to recover nearly 6.2 MT of narcotics from urban areas during the last five months. According to an ANF Headquarters spokesman, counter-narcotics operations were conducted in different parts of the country with a special focus on urban centre sanitization. Special combing and intelligence-based operations resulted in substantial seizures in major cities like Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Quetta, Rawalpindi and Islamabad, he added.
He informed that to effectively contain the threat, inter-provincial interdiction rings had been established and major inter-provincial communication arteries were being kept under surveillance.
This effort is bearing fruits, wherein an estimated 7.26 MT of narcotics have been seized along motorways and highways, which was destined for major metropolises of the country for local consumption.
In continuation of the countrywide counter-narcotics campaign, ANF carried out an intelligence-based operation near Kala Shah Kaku Toll Plaza on GT Road.
During the operation, the mini truck was intercepted, which led to the recovery of a huge cache of narcotics tactfully concealed in the seized vehicle.
