CHAKWAL: Senior journalist Khawaja Babar Salim Mehmood said that new types of drugs have come to the fore and now drug trafficking has become a big business and business and romance trafficking is happening rampantly. In the vicinity of Pir Bukhari Darbar, a crowd of drug addicts is always seen near the graveyard and Model Bazar. Thoha Bahadur Sohrab has become Goth. There are also big centers of drug trafficking in Dhedyal, Pham Kasar and Choasidinshah, while drugs are being sold in an organized manner in Tala Gang and Lawah tehsils and now the scary situation is that this poison is being distributed among the young generation under a program.
What is being done and reports are being received of shisha and ice intoxication in educational institutions as well, which is no less than a challenge for the district police. Any drug dealer caught by the police is honorably acquitted after a year or two without proper testimony and legal requirements, and that is why it is becoming a safe business. He was speaking live from Chakwal Press Club Studio. The host of the program, Zulfikar Mir, said that marijuana, opium, alcohol and powder were already popular among the types of drugs. Therefore, heads of educational institutions and parents have to be on high alert regarding their children in this regard. Senior journalist Khawaja Daniyal Saleem said that Chakwal was a safe area and it was the cradle of peace and security, but as a result of the Afghanistan Jihad, the arrival of more than 40,000 Afghans gave a boost to the Kalashnikov culture of drug dealers, and in this regard, especially the coal mines. The Pathan laborers working in the narcotics trade are the biggest players. He once again said that in the current rotten system, it is becoming almost impossible to get the accused to be punished by the courts. Therefore, unless severe punishments are given, the rate of crime will continue to increase. Senior journalist Raja Iftikhar Ahmad said that earlier the epidemic of drug trafficking was in most cities, but now this scourge is reaching remote villages and the young generation is falling victim to it. He suggested that the prices of cigarettes should be substantially increased and serious measures should be taken to keep them away from the youth.
