In compliance to government's directive, Anti-Narcotic Force (ANF) has granted top priority to nab proclaimed offenders in its ground operations. In this regard, two special conferences of ANF Operational Heads have already taken place at HQ ANF, which aimed at focus on execution, effective co-ordination and periodic monitoring in accomplishment of the mission. ANF spokesman Colonel Habib said on Tuesday that initially, performance in apprehension of proclaimed offenders was not considered satisfactory.
Resultantly DG ANF dedicated Special Teams along with allocation of requisite resources, specific for the task. Intelligence Unit was dove-tailed with Enforcement groups at regional level. Daily progress report for conduct of operations and its achievements were regularly submitted at night and in the morning, to keep HQ ANF abreast about all developments. To further augment the mission, DG ANF made special visits to Regional Directorates all over Pakistan for having one-to-one interaction with commanders as well as ground teams. He said all these endeavours concluded in apprehension of 176 proclaimed offenders in 5 months, out of which 25 were arrested from KP, 19 from North Region, 63 from Punjab, 30 from Sindh and 39 from Balochistan. It is first ever special drive in ANF history. It has not only brought the criminals to justice, but has also proved useful in creating a caution in general about drug crimes.
