Sir,
Refer news item, ‘Drug cartels’ hell bent to spoil young generation in J&K ‘DE March 24.
There are two sides of the news item. And both-these are quite disturbing to us the people of this State. First, drug addiction among youth is a great threat to social set up of the society. The youth whether males or females fall prey to this addiction.
These drugs not only inflict damage on the minds and souls of youth who consume it but breaks families.
According to a survey conducted by an NGO which runs a de-addiction centre at Khanyar in Srinagar, Kashmir has around 4000 female drug addicts.
The other side is the inability of law and order enforcing agencies to come down upon those involved in the trade. It is a matter of great concern that acquittals under Narcotics Drugs and Psychotrophic Substances Act cases out number convictions. It only reflects that police and investigating agencies show lack of concern towards this serious issue.
In cases society has be get rid of this social evil, police has act tough against the offenders. Otherwise a social disaster is in the making.
Yours etc…..
