The number of heroin addicts is increasing in Kohat with each passing day as the police have turned a blind eye to the drug pushing business in the suburbs of the city, the residents complain.
They said that drug addicts regularly gathered under a water tank near Sangerh Mohallah in Kohat city to take their daily dose.
Heroin addicts also regularly thronged a place behind the fertiliser plant on Rawalpindi Road close to Sheikhan and Darra Adamkhel every afternoon to purchase heroin, the residents alleged.
The area is situated in the limits of Saddar police station.
The police were unable to clear the area from armed drug peddlers, who had been selling drugs to hundreds of addicts in the settled area for the last several decades, they said.
The residents of the city demanded of the authorities to take concrete steps to eradicate drug addiction and clear the area of drug pushers.
