Rehabilitation Centers to be set up in divisions of Punjab: Ijaz Shah
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Minister for Narcotics Control Ijaz Shah Monday said drug rehabilitation centers will be established in every division of Punjab to treat patients of drug addiction.
The minister told the Senate during its proceedings that the decision to set up rehabilitation centers in Punjab was made in his meeting with Chief Minister Usman Buzdar.
The federal government alone could not deal with the problem as there were five million drug addicts in the country, he said adding the federal and provincial government departments would have to make joint efforts to tackle the huge problem.
