The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday instructed the Interior Ministry, and capital police to submit progress report from January to September of current year, regarding eradication of drugs from educational institutions.
\nThe court remarked that children\u2019s lunch boxes will have to be checked to see if anything is coming from outside.
\nJustice Raja Inaam Ameen Minhas heard the case of a private organization, Lucky Foundation against drugs use at educational institutions.
\nThe police presented a report from January to April 22, 2025 in the court, according to which 255 kilograms of heroin and 126 kilograms of hashish were recovered from different areas of Islamabad. It also registered 689 cases and 709 accused were arrested.
\nInterior Ministry officials said that an awareness campaign had also been launched in schools following the court order.
\nJustice Inaam remarked that awareness alone will not do anything, but effective monitoring was also necessary.
\nChildren\u2019s lunch boxes will also have to be checked so that nothing was brought in from outside.
\nThe court said that the slogan issued by the police against drugs was not enough, and practical steps will have to be taken.
\nThe court ruled that it was the responsibility of SHOs to monitor their area, not to initiate action only after a writ is filed. The lawyer of the private schools\u2019 organization told the court that the organization has also issued directions to eradicate drugs.
\nLater, further hearing of the case was adjourned for two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
