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.
