The General Directorate of Narcotics Control emphasized the importance of public cooperation in combating drug smuggling and trafficking. They urged the public to report any information related to these illegal activities by calling the emergency numbers 911 in Makkah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, and 999 in other regions of Saudi Arabia. Additionally, individuals can reach out to the General Directorate of Narcotics Control directly through the phone number 995 or via email at 995@gdnc.gov.sa.
