Pakistan has been battling a growing problem of drug addiction in the country. Most users rely on local NGOs for treatment and rehabilitation, but these are often weighed down by a lack of funds. Now, a leading charity has shut down after a dispute with the government cut off vital support for thousands of people. Al Jazeera’s Hashem Ahelbarra reports.
In related news, President Zardari told reporters the newly acquired F-16s from the US will not upset the regional balance of power.
P U L S E 
are not these planes the ones for which Pakistan paid “decades” ago? Why US did not deliver them as per contract to Pakistan in 80’s probably?
i wonder what their delivery has to do with present govt’s lack of developing social welfare programs – pls elaborate?
