Sir,
Drug addiction is a major social evil of modern times. It has spread its tentacles among the young and the old, and the rich and the poor. It is a problem of the whole society. In the beginning a person takes a drug out of curiosity or for pleasures. But once he gets used to drugs, he becomes an addict. He finds it difficult to give up the habit. Drugs completely destroy mental faculties of an addict.
Drugs are not only bad in themselves but they also give rise to certain anti-social activities. As drugs are very costly the addicts indulge in petty robberies and house breaks and extortions. Most of them fall in the hands of drug peddlers, murderers, and terrorist groups.
In India drug addiction is increasing. International Drug Enforcement Agency has been formed to tackle this problem. The Press and the electronic media have been carrying on an unrelenting propaganda against the use of drugs. Compelling Centres need to be opened in big cities to give advice to the youth. Drug addiction centres can save the youth from this evil of the present time.
