MULTAN: Punjab Lawyers Front on Sunday demanded the Punjab government to establish rehabilitation centers for addicts in district headquarters hospitals across the province. In a press statement, Punjab Lawyers Front Chairman Rana Amjad and senior lawyer Sabir Chauhan, stressed the need for immediate action, stating that the centers would help reintegrate drug addicts into society as productive citizens. They said that instead of leaving addicts to suffer, they should be given proper treatment, which was not only a societal but also a government responsibility. Rana Amjad Advocate also highlighted that police should focus on sending these individuals to rehabilitation centers rather than arresting them for the sake of performance metrics. Vulnerable group deserves state-sponsored treatment and rehabilitation. DNA
