LAHORE: A 12-day workshop on the rehabilitation of drug addicts concluded 
at a local hotel on Wednesday. The Anti Narcotics Force (ANF), Punjab, 
arranged the workshop.

chief guest. Speaking on the occasion, George said that the US government 
supported ANF efforts to eradicate drugs.

He said that proper attention and medication could make drug addicts useful

among the masses against drugs.

Other speakers praised the ANF for its efforts. They called for more such 
workshops. In the end, certificates were distributed among the participants.
