Sindh government will start testing for drugs in schools

Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon has announced that children in educational institutions will undergo drug tests, with positive results reported only to their parents.

Memon highlighted that President Asif Ali Zardari, upon taking office, had directed officials to combat drug abuse, reflecting his concern over the rising trend of drug abuse.

At the inaugural meeting of the high-powered anti-narcotics committee, Memon stated that if a child tests positive, only the parents will be informed, and the child will then be questioned about the source of the drugs, including suppliers, dealers, and their accomplices.

The primary focus will be on making arrests.
