KARACHI:
Drugs abuse has become widespread, causing immense harm not only to individuals but also to families and communities. Lives are being lost, and many are suffering from mental health issues and depression as a result of drug addiction. The impact of drug addiction extends far beyond the individuals directly involved. Families are torn apart, and communities are destabilised by the devastating effects of drug abuse. Meanwhile, drug dealers profit from the misery they inflict, leading luxurious lives while others suffer. I urge the government to take immediate and decisive action to address this crisis. It is imperative to implement stringent measures to stop the flow of drugs and crack down on drug dealers.
