The Sindh Narcotics Control Department recently seized drugs worth billions of rupees during an operation in Karachi’s Bin Qasim Town. The operation, conducted near Ghaghar Phatak, highlights the department’s ongoing efforts to curb drug trafficking in the province. Officials discovered a vehicle loaded with illegal and unregistered pen-color pills during a routine snap check at Sassi Toll Plaza.
Lab Tests Confirm Drug Potential
Laboratory tests on the confiscated pills revealed they could be used to produce large quantities of ice and cocaine, further amplifying the significance of the bust. Sindh Minister for Excise, Taxation, and Narcotics Control, Mukesh Kumar Chawla, emphasized the importance of these findings, stating that the seized substances could have fueled a massive narcotics supply chain.
Enhanced Surveillance Measures
Minister Chawla outlined the department’s heightened surveillance strategies, which include increased monitoring at entry and exit points across the province. Urban areas, especially Karachi, are seeing intensified snap checks to deter drug trafficking. These measures aim to disrupt supply routes and reduce the availability of illegal substances in the city.
Arrests Made During Operation
During the operation, two suspects were arrested on the spot. According to the Secretary of Excise, Taxation, and Narcotics Control, the suspects are believed to be key players in the trafficking network. Investigations are underway to uncover their connections and further dismantle the criminal operation.
Stepping Up the Fight Against Drug Trafficking
The Sindh Narcotics Control Department continues its proactive approach to combat the drug menace. This recent seizure underscores the department’s commitment to safeguarding the public from the devastating impact of illegal drugs. Officials vow to maintain strict vigilance and ensure such operations yield significant results.
This successful operation not only prevented the circulation of billions of rupees worth of narcotics but also demonstrated the effectiveness of increased enforcement and cooperation among law enforcement agencies. The department urges citizens to report suspicious activities, as community involvement remains crucial in the fight against drug trafficking.
