During a standing committee meeting she chaired at the PA on Tuesday, Faryal stressed that the zero-tolerance policy against drug dealers must continue.

The meeting discussed drug mafia members’ arrests, the forensic lab’s performance, the investigation of chemically adulterated milk, cases against the land mafia, the proposal to set up a provincial cyber crime unit and police operations in the Kutcha areas.

Faryal said if any correspondence has been initiated as regards the cyber crime unit, it should be placed before her so the matter can be taken up with the federal government.
