News Desk

SEHWAN: Authorities in Sehwan have uncovered a significant drug haul hidden within the secret compartments of an ambulance, raising concerns over the use of emergency vehicles for illicit activities.

The operation took place on Tuesday, where law enforcement officials discovered various narcotics, including heroin and methamphetamine, during a routine inspection.

According to police sources, the ambulance was flagged for inspection due to suspicious behavior observed by officers.

Upon searching the vehicle, they found concealed compartments containing a substantial quantity of drugs, estimated to be worth millions on the black market.

Local police chief, Inspector Ahmed Khan, stated, “This operation highlights our commitment to combating drug trafficking and ensuring that emergency services are not misused for illegal purposes.”

The incident underscores the ongoing challenges Pakistan faces in tackling drug-related crimes, particularly as the country serves as a transit route for narcotics.

The misuse of ambulances for drug smuggling not only jeopardizes public safety but also undermines trust in emergency services, which are critical during health crises.

In response to this incident, authorities have announced a series of enhanced inspections of emergency vehicles across the region.

Furthermore, a task force will be established to investigate the broader network involved in this drug trafficking operation, aiming to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
