Anti-Drug Crackdown: Police Send 480 Addicts to Rehabilitation Centers

In a significant move against drug abuse, law enforcement authorities carried out a large-scale anti-drug operation, resulting in the transfer of around 480 drug addicts to rehabilitation centers.

The operation was conducted as part of an ongoing campaign to eliminate drug use from urban areas and restore public safety. Officials stated that special teams were deployed to identify and detain individuals involved in substance abuse across multiple locations.

Following their detention, the addicts were shifted to rehabilitation facilities where they will receive medical treatment, counseling, and support aimed at helping them recover and reintegrate into society.

Authorities emphasized that this initiative is not only about enforcement but also about rehabilitation and recovery. They highlighted the importance of providing proper care to drug-dependent individuals rather than treating them solely as offenders.

The anti-drug campaign is expected to continue in the coming days, with further operations planned to target drug suppliers and networks contributing to the spread of narcotics.

Officials also urged the public to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and report suspicious activities to help combat the growing drug menace.
