The Islamic Republic's capital, which is home to over a million residents, has seen over 3,500 drugs-related cases registered in the past four years. The federal government has announced a ‘comprehensive’ campaign to eradicate the use of drugs among the youth. “Drug mafias are playing with the dignity of Pakistan and future of helpless Pakistanis,” said Minister of State for Interior Shehryar Afridi while addressing a ceremony on January 29. “We will launch an exhaustive crackdown against them.” Three areas in Islamabad – Tarnol, Bhara Kahu and Aabpara — seem to be the focus of drug dealers, according the Islamabad police report.
