Drug dealers go online after Islamabad police crackdown

In response to a police crackdown in Islamabad, drug dealers have turned to online platforms to continue their illegal operations. This shift includes enlisting beggars to sell drugs in public and offering home delivery services. Despite the arrests of 1,002 drug peddlers and the recovery of significant amounts of narcotics, the police efforts seem to have only pushed the trade online, highlighting the evolving nature of drug distribution and the challenges law enforcement faces in keeping up with these changes. This development underscores the persistent and adaptive nature of the drug trade in the face of regulatory pressure.
