Amman: The Anti-Narcotics Department (AND) executed the destruction of confiscated narcotic drugs from 107 closed cases on Wednesday, as part of its continuous efforts to uphold the law and safeguard society from the perils of drugs.

The Public Security Directorate’s (PSD) spokesperson emphasized the firm stance taken against drug dealers and traffickers, including those involved in fatal drug-related incidents, ensuring their prosecution and mitigating the proliferation of narcotics in society.
The PSD collaborates closely with the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army, security departments, and Jordan Customs to prevent the smuggling and trafficking of narcotic substances, added the spokesperson.
