Drugs killing youth

Kashmir Times. Dated: 10/17/2017 5:04:19 PM

Dear Editor,
The drug addiction among the youth of the country has emerged as a big problem and J&K is no exception on this account. Almost every other day, one finds the news reports about the arrests of drug peddlers in one part of the state or the other
Youth are lured by the drug peddlers and the easy availability of banned drugs makes their job to make youth drug addicted easier.
There are certain drugs which in fact are antidote to many diseases but their overdose is as harmful as a drug. For example, the people use cough syrups to cure cough but there are so many people who are taking cough syrup as a drug.
To tackle the problem of drug addiction, all sections of the society need to join hands and cooperate with the government. Rehabilitation centres for the drug addicts too are helpful but the sympathetic attitude of families and other sections of society towards the drug addicts can do wonders.
Arnav,
Jammu
