LAHORE: An anti-drugs narcotics body has expressed concerns over a drop in the supply of legal and illegal drugs in the world caused by the lockdown, which is leading to an increase in the number of drug users turning to more dangerous alternatives drugs. An anti-drugs narcotics body consultant Syed Zulfiqar Hussain on Wednesday said Drug Advisory Training Hub & YOCFAN jointly distributed food packs and water among homeless drug addicts in the city. A large number of homeless young people are using hard and soft drugs on footpaths, gardens and different major roads in Pakistan and due to lockdown they need food and water, he said.
