IHC Bans Parcel Deliveries in Educational Institutes to Curb Drug Abuse

The Islamabad High Court has issued a sweeping ban on parcel deliveries to students at educational institutions in the federal capital, in a move aimed at tackling the rising use of narcotics among young people.

The ruling was delivered during a hearing on a petition advocating for the inclusion of drug awareness in school and college curricula. A government representative informed the court that anti-drug content is being introduced in the upcoming academic syllabus.

Justice Inaam Ameen Minhas, presiding over the case, expressed deep concern over reports of narcotics being smuggled onto campuses under the guise of food orders. “Drug use among students has reached alarming levels,” he said.

He questioned how delivery riders were allowed to access school premises and noted that students were reportedly receiving narcotics hidden in pizza and other food items.

“All courier delivery boys must be barred from entering campus premises,” the judge ordered, warning that institutions failing to comply would face legal action.

The court also directed authorities to enforce the ban strictly and called for a report from the Cabinet Secretary on the formal establishment of the National Anti-Narcotics Council.

The next hearing is scheduled for May 28.
