CM: More Than Law Enforcement
Bugti was careful to present this campaign as more than routine policing. He said that the anti-narcotics drive is a comprehensive effort to protect the future of the younger generation of Balochistan and not just a law enforcement statistic to report. He said the government is committed to strengthening its anti-narcotics measures as well as dealing with the social fallout that drug abuse leaves in communities throughout the province.
The chief minister concluded by repeating the government’s larger aim of building a safe, healthy and drug-free society in Balochistan, a goal that, he said, requires consistent effort far beyond sporadic seizure operations.
