Karachi. June 10: City District Government Karachi will establish 3 centers for rehabilitation and treatment of drugs addicts under a public private partnership project. These centers will be established at Saudabad Malir, Ibrahim Haidery and Memon Goth while these persons would also get technical training at Memon Industrial and Technical Institute so that they could live their life respectfully after completion of their treatment.
This was stated by City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal during a meeting with the delegation of Drugs Free Pakistan Foundation which was represented by President of DFPF Muhammad Naved Younus, P.D Farheen Siddiqui and Program Manager Captain Amanullah Khan while from the city government EDO Health Dr. A.D Sajnani, EDO Municipal Services Masood Alam, EDO Revenue Sajjad Abbasi, EDO Mater Plan Atique Baig and Project Director “I Own Karachi” Program Tooba Zarif, attended the meeting.
Nazim Karachi on this occasion said that the rehabilitation of drugs addicts was an important task as these persons openly use drugs all over the city which creates social problems and others follows them. Therefore, he said, City Government has planned to establish three drugs rehabilitation centers in the city under an agreement with Drugs Free Pakistan Foundation. He said that Town Nazmeen would also play important role in this noble cause while well-off persons should also join hands with us like they supported us in other public welfare works.
Nazim Karachi also directed EDO Health to prepare a written agreement with the foundation and take immediate measures for the establishment of rehabilitation centers.
He also instructed him that this facility should also be provided at the Health Center of Mubarak Village in Kemari Town.
He also directed P.D “I Own Karachi” Program Tooba Zarif to arrange for the public awareness campaign regarding use of drugs.
He said that the drugs addicts were usually treated badly in the society and they did not get proper status and livelihood even after their rehabilitation. City Government has therefore planned to provide technical education to these people at the industrial and technical institute recently established by city government in coordination with World Memon Organization.
President of the Drugs Free Pakistan Foundation Muhammad Younus thanked City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal for patronization and cooperation and assured him all possible support in the treatment and rehabilitation of drugs addicts.
