Pakistan Narcotics Board (PNB) comprised representatives from the Provincial Governments and some Federal Ministries/Divisions. Later, Pakistan Narcotics Control Board (PNCB) was established in 1973 with five Regional Directorates, in response to the UN Convention on Narcotics Control, with the mandate to combat narcotics in the Country. To counter the increasing drug menace, ANF has evolved and developed a structure to counterchallenge the various facets of the drug menace. At the international level, ANF has gone into cooperation with international narcotics control authorities to exchange intelligence and conduct coordinated intelligence-based operations. Therefore, in the backdrop of its efforts and to create greater awareness on ‘International Drug Day’ on 26th, June 2023, ANF has aptly come up with the slogan of ‘One Nation, One Destination’ to emphasise that ANF needs the support of the nation, its people, and their resolve to help ANF achieve the aim of a drug-free Pakistan.

This is extremely concerning, especially when we take into account that we are yet to experience monsoon rains that flooded most of the country last year. These active power lives fall onto the roads, where water collects due to horribly maintained drainage and sewerage systems. As a country that is likely to experience the worst forms of monsoon rains simply because of its geographical location, one would assume that the authorities would embark upon development projects that factor in these externalities as well, but alas.
