TURBAT: The University of Turbat (UoT) and the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) have jointly hosted a significant awareness session, reinforcing a national drive to counter substance abuse within educational institutions.
Held under the banner “One Nation, One Destination — Drug-Free Pakistan,” the event in the university’s video conference hall attracted a substantial gathering of students and faculty from diverse academic departments.
Mr. Nauman Haneef, Joint Director of the ANF’s Coastal Region, addressed the audience, characterising drug trafficking as a pervasive organised crime that demands a collective response. He underscored the critical role of educational institutions in formulating preventative strategies to shield students from the dangers of narcotics.
“The ANF is dedicated to fostering a secure, drug-free environment,” Mr. Haneef stated, adding that the force aims to equip the youth with the necessary awareness to pursue healthier and more productive lives.
The session was welcomed by the University’s Director of Student Affairs, Mr. Chakar Hyder, who commended the ANF for its outreach initiative. Mr. Ijaz Ahmed, Director of Public Relations, conveyed the support of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Gul Hasan, thanking the ANF team for their vital work in student education.
