KARACHI- Parents, Teachers, Religious Scholors,NGO and Media can play a vital role against the curse of narcotics. This was said by the Waseem Akther Advisor to CM Sindh on Home during a walk on International Anti Narcotics Day which organized by Anti Narcotics Force.
Addressing to the participant of the walk Mr Waseem said narcotics is a curse for the society and it affects the good minds and added that 4 million people were addict of drugs in Pakistan which was a concerned.
And that number is so small simply because neighbors are not cooperating

Moderate drought due to supply drying up
Federal Minister for Narcotics Control Ghaus Bux Khan Mehar said that Afghan government was not playing due role in drug eradication campaign at international level and that was the reason Afghanistan was one of the largest heroin producing countries in the world.

To a question about the possibility of smuggling of the chemical from India into Afghanitan through Afghan Transit Trade, the minister said that they were helpless in this connection as they could not open the containers going to Afghanistan through Afghan Transit Trade.
Don't worry people, its a market economy everywhere in the neighborhood now. It may inflate prices a little, but we hear there has been a bumper harvest this year!!

Now 50 pounds is a small amount. Personal use only. Why make such a fuss. Even the entertainment industry is claiming their actors will suffer due to this bureaucratic mess.
