He urged all educational institutions to cooperate with law enforcement departments to protect students from this curse. He requested the heads of educational institutions to organize various refresher courses and awareness campaigns in collaboration with law enforcement agencies to protect young students from drugs and educate them about its dangers.
He expressed his determination that Islamabad Police will dismantle the networks of drug dealers, and no malicious elements will be allowed to destroy the lives of the youth. Those involved in this heinous and vile trade will be brought to justice at all costs, he added.
