ISLAMABAD: In a move to safeguard youth, the Islamabad High Court<\/a> (IHC)\u00a0 issued<\/span> a<\/span> directive<\/span> that<\/span> bans<\/span> the<\/span> practice<\/span> of<\/span> delivering<\/span> parcels<\/span> directly<\/span> to students in educational institutions in the federal capital,<\/span> to\u00a0combat student<\/span> drug use.<\/p>\n

The directive was<\/span> issued<\/span> as<\/span> part of a\u00a0hearing<\/span> on<\/span> a petition that<\/span> requested<\/span> to add <\/span>drug awareness courses <\/span>within<\/span> the school and college curriculum<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The<\/span> court<\/span> was<\/span> told<\/span> by<\/span> a<\/span> government<\/span> lawyer<\/span> that the Ministry of Education<\/a> has already inserted<\/span> anti-drug education<\/span> into its<\/span> upcoming academic syllabus.<\/p>\n

“<\/span>This<\/span> court<\/span> is<\/span> seriously<\/span> concerned<\/span> about<\/span> students<\/span> having<\/span> access<\/span> to<\/span> drugs<\/span> in educational institutions. The<\/span> drug<\/span> culture<\/span> in<\/span> schools<\/span> has reached of<\/span> level<\/span> of<\/span> concern<\/span>,“<\/span> Justice<\/span> Inaam<\/span> Ameen<\/span> Minhas<\/span> opined<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The court now<\/span> put a total<\/span> ban on courier and delivery employees<\/span> being<\/span> in<\/span> schools<\/span> or<\/span> colleges<\/span>, as<\/span> the<\/span> court<\/span> has<\/span> received<\/span> reports that students are<\/span> receiving<\/span> drugs in<\/span> delivery<\/span><\/a> food.<\/p>\n

“<\/span>How are delivery riders even allowed<\/span> to<\/span> enter<\/span> these institutions?“<\/span> Justice Minhas asked<\/span>. “<\/span>Students order pizza, and along with the<\/span> pizza<\/span>, they receive narcotics. All employee<\/span> couriers<\/span> must be barred from campus.“<\/span><\/p>\n

In<\/span> addition<\/span>,<\/span> the<\/span> court<\/span> ordered<\/span> authorities to cease<\/span> all forms<\/span> of<\/span> direct distribution<\/span> to students and reiterated<\/span> its<\/span> order<\/span> to<\/span> all<\/span> parties<\/span> involved<\/span> to<\/span> comply<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny school or college that does<\/span> not<\/span> comply<\/span> with<\/span> this order<\/span> will be<\/span> prosecuted<\/span>,\u201d said<\/span> the<\/span> Judge<\/span>. Moreover<\/span>, the court has<\/span> ordered<\/span> the Cabinet Secretary a<\/span> report<\/span> on whether the National Anti-Narcotics Council has been formally arrangement<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The hearing was postponed<\/span> until May 28. Previously<\/span>,<\/span> according<\/span> to<\/span> ARY<\/span> News<\/span>, the investigation report of the prime suspect, Armaghan, in the<\/span> case<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> murder of Mustafa Amir<\/span>\u00a0has emerged<\/span> with<\/span> shocking<\/span> details of<\/span> a drug trafficking network operating in Karachi.<\/p>\n

The<\/span> suspect<\/span> Ali Khan, who was recently<\/span> arrested<\/span> by the Specialized Investigation Unit of the Karachi Police, acknowledged<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span> trafficking<\/span> of<\/span> da drug,<\/span> which is primarily cocaine, which had\u00a0arrived<\/span> in<\/span> Karachi from Balochistan. He further<\/span> disclosed that another suspect named<\/span> Shah Fahad was carrying<\/span> out<\/span> the drug<\/span> supply<\/span> chain<\/span>, running<\/span> a drug racket from Islamabad,<\/span> working<\/span> with<\/span> (<\/span>alongside)<\/span> his wife.<\/p>\n

In<\/span> further<\/span> revelation<\/span>,<\/span> 1<\/span> kilogram of cocaine was<\/span> bought<\/span> in<\/span> Balochistan for PKR 8.5 million. Then<\/span> it<\/span> is taken<\/span> from various cities to<\/span> Karachi<\/span>, including Islamabad, Lahore, and Peshawar. Ali Khan\u00a0confessed that in<\/span> the<\/span> city<\/span>,<\/span> one gram of cocaine is sold for<\/span> PKR 16,000 to 18,000, and<\/span> the<\/span> profit<\/span> of<\/span> having<\/span> one<\/span> kilogram<\/span> was<\/span> PKR 10 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
