During the briefing, DG ANF apprised the COAS of international and regional drug situation and its negative effects on our society including ANF’s Strategy and efforts for ensuring ‘Drug Free Society’, challenges faced and Five Years Force Development Plan.
COAS said that drug peddlers and those involved in its production are as much detrimental to national security as terrorists. Drug money is being used for promotion of terrorism also and therefore it is important that drug dealers are dealt with iron hands, COAS emphasized. “We will break the nexus between drug dealers, financiers and perpetrators of terrorism”. We will not allow these drug barons to negatively influence and spoil our future generations, COAS reiterated.
