Islamabad — In a significant ruling, the Islamabad High Court has ordered an immediate ban on direct parcel deliveries by courier and delivery personnel to schools and colleges, citing concerns over the smuggling of narcotics into educational institutions.
Justice Inam Amin Minhas, while issuing the order, raised alarming questions about how drugs are making their way into schools and colleges. “Do you know how narcotics enter educational institutions? Through couriers and delivery boys,” he remarked during the hearing.
The court directed relevant authorities to conduct thorough inspections to determine which schools and colleges frequently receive direct deliveries and what kind of items are being delivered. “Check and identify institutions where direct deliveries are occurring in high volume,” Justice Minhas instructed.
He further highlighted that students often order food items like pizza, but along with it, some also manage to receive drugs. “This has to be stopped immediately,” he emphasized.

The court ordered that all educational institutions must comply with the directive, and strict action will be taken against those that fail to implement the ruling. “Any school or college not complying with this order should be dealt with accordingly,” Justice Minhas warned.
The decision has sparked immediate discussions among school administrations, courier services, and parents, with many supporting the move as a necessary step to ensure student safety.
