Drug smuggling

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Turbat is a relatively tranquil city. It’s population is well educated and it has low rates of violent crime. Unfortunately it is also a haven for drug smugglers.

Consequently, drug addiction in Turbat is on the rise. This has had an effect on the health of Turbat’s young people. It is also expected that these young people will turn to crime sooner or later to support their addiction. It is my appeal to the government of Pakistan to take action against Turbat’s drug smugglers.
