They emphasized the efforts of law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and all related individuals in bringing criminals to justice. The sentences serve as a message to those involved in illegal drug trafficking that criminal activities will not be tolerated. Citizens are urged to report any suspicious drug-related activities to the authorities.
Officials are also cracking down on individuals using fake number plates, unregistered vehicles, and tax evaders. Citizens are advised to obtain their number plates promptly to avoid any hassle. Those who have not paid vehicle taxes are urged to do so immediately, and individuals with unregistered vehicles should get them registered without delay. Furthermore, in Karachi, two central cocaine dealers were apprehended by the Excise Narcotics Control Team.
