In a significant development, the Pakistan Coast Guard has successfully seized 43.8 kilograms of hashish, 8 kilograms of opium, and 26 kilograms of silver during anti-smuggling operations in Balochistan, as reported by ProPakistani on February 13, 2026. The seized drugs have an estimated global market value of $33.13 million. The operations are part of a broader effort to curb drug smuggling and illegal trade, which are seen as threats to public safety and the country's economic stability. ARY News also highlighted the operations, emphasizing the Coast Guard's active role in these initiatives. Meanwhile, in Gujranwala, 29 police officers have been dismissed over alleged involvement in drug trafficking and corruption. According to ProPakistani, 16 officers were linked to drug dealers, while 13 were dismissed for corruption and misconduct. City Police Officer Dr. Sardar Ghiyas Gul Khan stated, 'No officer or official, regardless of rank, involved in facilitating criminals or drug dealers deserves any leniency,' underscoring a zero-tolerance policy. Tribune Latest corroborates this, noting that disciplinary proceedings are underway against several officers accused of accepting bribes. This internal accountability drive reflects a broader crackdown on corruption within law enforcement.
