The Sharif administration is doing little to nothing to prevent the traffickers, as evidenced by the PM’s adviser’s admission that drone-based narcotics trafficking is occurring right under its nose.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann urged Home Minister Amit Shah to make the registration of drones mandatory during last week’s conference on drug trafficking and national security, pointing out that unmanned aerial vehicles were increasingly being used for cross-border smuggling of weapons and heroin. In response, Shah had stated that a new drone policy with several limitations will soon be released.
