In a groundbreaking move, the District Police Officer (DPO) of Manshera, Zahoor Babar Afridi, has ordered the compilation of lists of guarantors for drug dealers in strict accordance with the law. This is the first time in the district's history that such a measure has been taken. According to media reports, the DPO's directive aims to hold accountable those who provide bail or guarantees for individuals involved in drug trafficking. This move sends a clear message that those who enable drug dealers will not be spared from legal consequences.

In a number of cases, the DPO has already ordered legal action against guarantors of drug dealers. For example, guarantors for drug dealers Abdul Wahid, Shah Nawaz, and Ejaz are all facing legal proceedings. The DPO has also directed all police officers across the district to compile lists of guarantors for drug dealers and ensure that appropriate actions are taken. This comprehensive effort to root out drug-related crimes is a significant step forward in the fight against narcotics in the Manshera district.
