Lawmakers Demand Shift in Drug Control Strategy

Kathmandu. Lawmakers have strongly demanded a change in the traditional investigation system for drug control in the State Affairs and Good Governance Committee of the House of Representatives.

In the committee meeting held on Thursday, lawmakers from the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) emphasized focusing investigations on the main sources and supply chains, stating that apprehending only users would not solve the problem. They drew the government's attention to issues of low budget, weak police mechanisms, and ineffective rehabilitation centers, urging for a concrete action plan.
