KARACHI: Police and Anti-Narcotic Force (ANF) jointly launched a grand operation on Thursday in Old Golimar, apparently after a video of some addicts using drugs in the area went viral on the social media recently.

“A grand search and combing up operation has been launched in Old Golimar in which more than 500 personnel of police, Rangers and ANF took part,” said Keamari SSP Arif Aslam Rao, who is leading the operation.

More than a dozen suspects were detained while arms and narcotics had also been seized, the SSP said.
