This comprehensive study summarizes the findings of an intensive investigation conducted to obtain a thorough understanding of the challenges that the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) encountered in its unrelenting effort to combat drug trafficking inside the complicated environment of the Regional Directorate Peshawar. These challenges encompass a broad spectrum involving hurdles including insufficient border control operations, insufficient training for employees, limited resources, language obstacles, possibly life-threatening risks, and the changing nature of drug trafficking methods. This study provides a clear picture of the complex network of challenges encountered on the front lines from the perspectives of ANF personnel with a variety of employment and experiences.
