Sindh Senior Minister
Sindh Sharjeel Inam Memon has said that the Sindh government will buy weapons
to fight the raw material bandits, and modern weapons will be delivered to the
police as soon as possible.
While talking to the
media in Karachi, Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has said that
Operations against dacoits are ongoing in Katcha. Police and Rangers are
jointly conducting these operations. Even now, Rangers are present where there
is a need. The dacoits have modern weapons, and the Sindh government has
written a letter to the federal government requesting modern weapons.
He said that President
Asif Zardari has addressed various issues of law and order in his recent
meeting, emphasizing that his first priority is to end the scourge of drugs.
Serious actions are being taken against drug trafficking and abuse, as drugs
have infiltrated different sectors of society. Drugs are being supplied to
innocent children in educational institutions, making them addicts. The
government cannot sit idly by and is committed to combating this crisis.
Sharjeel Inam Memon said
that Operations against drugs have been initiated by the Excise Department,
with additional operations being carried out by the police. The Chief Minister
of Sindh, the Home Minister, and the IG Sindh are also providing assistance. We
are conducting operations wherever necessary and have already arrested many
drug dealers.
He said that currently,
crystal meth and ice are dangerous drugs present in society. People using these
drugs are like suicide bombers for the community, capable of unpredictable and
concerning reactions. We are doing our utmost to prevent drug abuse. Operations
are taking place not only in the cities but also at various joint checkpoints.
The Excise Police have been strictly instructed to remain vigilant and to take
this issue seriously.
Sharjeel Inam Memon said
that we urge parents to take any changes in their children's behavior
seriously. We will conduct random drug tests in schools. If any child tests
positive, we will inform the parents while respecting their privacy, and
inquire about the source of the drugs from the child.
He said that A drug
dealer has been apprehended in Clifton, Karachi, who was involved in supplying
drugs to schools, colleges, and affluent areas. Substantial evidence has been
uncovered from his mobile device, leading to the identification of prominent individuals.
However, our primary objective is drug prevention, not defamation.
Sharjeel Inam Memon said
that we are planning to enhance the capacity of the Narcotics Control Wing of
the Excise Department, and the Sindh Chief Minister has pledged support in this
endeavor. We are striving to ensure its success. As long as the PPP government
is in power, the anti-drug operation will persist, and no individual will be
exempted. We urge the media to assist us in this endeavor. The fight against
drugs is not the responsibility of one person alone; it requires collective
efforts from everyone.
He said that the Sindh
government will establish rehabilitation centers for the treatment of drug
addicts.
