SUKKUR: On the special instructions of Senior Minister of Sindh and Minister for Excise, Taxation, and Narcotics Control Sharjeel Inam Memon, an excise narcotics control team has foiled an attempt to smuggle large quantities of drugs by conducting a successful operation in Rohri.

During strict checking near the Central Jail Sukkur, adjacent to Sukkur Toll Station, the team seized 60kg of hashish from a double cabin vehicle with registration number GP 3219 and arrested a suspect, Imran Noor Durrani. A case has been registered against the suspect.

Provincial minister Memon praised the Excise and Narcotics Control officers for the successful operation and emphasized that drugs posed a serious threat to the welfare and future of the young generation.

He stated that drug eradication would be ensured through coordinated and improved measures, and the Sindh government would strive to ensure a safe and drug-free society for all citizens.
