Generally world societies have been voicing great concern about alarming increase in drug addiction in contemporary societies. Now in almost all countries, there are organizations and institutions, formal as well as informal, involved in preventing production, transportation and distribution of drugs and narcotics that make the youth addicted and finally lead them to destruction. But despite global efforts, drug control has not been eradicated rather in some regions it has become almost legitimized business. Take the case of Afghanistan, one of the leading countries in the world known for widespread cultivation and production of narcotics. Drug industry has become the mainstay of jihadist and terrorist economy. Nearer home, there has been considerable rise in drug addiction in our state. Anti-narcotic organizations and squads have been seizing large quantities of heroin and other drugs from drug smuggling mafia which has established trans-national network. Drug smuggling has many facets from cultivation and production to manufacturing and distribution. It is a huge nexus and difficult for Governments to break it.
In anyway the efforts which the State authorities are making to control its production and distribution on one hand and treatment and counseling of drug addicts on the other hand are appreciable. One should not expect miracles to happen over night but the very fact that the Government is seized of the problem is very encouraging.
