PESHAWAR
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on Monday approved an amendment introducing harsh penalties for drug-related offenses in educational institutions.
The KP Control of Narcotic Substances (Amendment) Bill was presented by Provincial Minister for Excise, Khaliq-ur-Rehman. During the session, opposition members withdrew their proposed amendments, allowing the bill to be passed without opposition. Under the new law, anyone caught with more than four kilograms of heroin will face life imprisonment, while possession of over six kilograms could result in either life imprisonment or the death penalty.
