Aam Olas Ep 70: A Family Broken by Addiction in Peshawar
In Aam Olas Ep 70, Yousaf Jan Utmanzai visits a small house near the Peshawar Railway Station, where hardship has become a permanent resident. This episode is not about crime or headlines. It is about a family slowly collapsing under addiction, illness, and neglect, a journey of sadness that many homes silently endure.
Aam Olas Ep 70
One Brother Carrying the Weight of Six Lives
The house belongs to Aslam, the elder brother of six siblings.
Out of all of them, Aslam is the only one living a normal life—and the only one carrying responsibility for everyone else.
The family includes:
- Three brothers addicted to narcotics
- Two sisters with mental disabilities
- One elder brother is trying to hold everything together
What should have been a shared family burden has become one man’s daily struggle.
Addiction: Destroying an Entire Household
The number of drug addicts in our society is rising rapidly.
In this home, addiction has already done its damage.
During Yousaf Jan Utmanzai’s visit:
- Two addicted brothers ran away
- Only one brother remained to speak
His name is Shawkat.
Shawkat’s Painful Confession
Shawkat, one of the addicted brothers, is also a father to a young daughter.
While speaking to Yousaf Jan Utmanzai, he admitted:
- He is tired of his addicted life
- He wants to change
- He wants treatment – not excuses
But there is one major barrier: money.
Rehabilitation and medical care are far beyond what this family can afford.
Sisters Forgotten by the System
Alongside addiction, the family also faces a mental health crisis.
Both sisters are mentally disabled, requiring constant care and supervision.
There is no formal support, no medical assistance, and no government help.
Their condition adds another layer of pain to an already fragile household.
A Serious Accusation: Drugs Sold in the Open
Aslam, the elder brother, raises a troubling concern.
According to him:
- Drugs are sold openly in the area
- Dealers operate without fear
- Authorities allegedly take no action
He believes that if this continues, entire neighborhoods and future generations will be destroyed.
This episode raises a critical question:
Who will protect families when addiction is allowed to grow unchecked?
Why This Story Matters
Aam Olas brings this story forward not to shame anyone, but to warn society.
Addiction does not destroy one person alone.
It destroys:
- Families
- Children
- Futures
And when mental health issues and poverty are added, survival becomes almost impossible.

Final Reflection: How Many Homes Are Like This?
This is one house near Peshawar Railway Station.
But how many others exist in silence?
Qurban Qurban Da Dada Kora, Sacrificed again and again, is the father’s home; it is not just a title.
It is a reality where families are sacrificed to addiction, neglect, and inaction.
Aam Olas has highlighted the issue. Now it is up to society, authorities, and communities to respond.
If you have thoughts or suggestions, share them respectfully in the comments. Awareness can still save lives.
