Pakistan's Makran Coast: A Hub for Drug Trafficking

Pakistan's Makran Coast: A Hub for Drug Trafficking

Imagine a secret highway at sea where bad guys are sending drugs.

This highway runs along Pakistan's coast, using small boats and big ships called dhows.

These boats carry drugs like heroin and a new drug called meth.

They sail to places like the Arabian Sea.

Navies from different countries are trying to catch them, seizing a lot of drugs.

The drug money causes problems like local corruption.

Pakistan says it's trying to stop this, but the evidence suggests some people there are involved.

If this continues, the drug highway will become even bigger and more difficult to stop.
