2nd... ill gotten wealth is used in real estates, jewelleries etc., I was told in TN and Kerala this is happening. A small town in Theni dt. chinnamanur is having 300 jewellery shops in a radius of one KM.Real estate is at its peak here.Nefarious violaters must be punished and those who are giving the details of the persons must be kept secret and rewarded.Govt is not able to get their taxes from these anti nationals and severely punished. Raiding PROPERTY REGISTRATION OFFICES WILL YIELD RESULTS

Ganza (Marizuana) is available on most Pan shops in Delhi & NCR and everybody knows this including police. We need to curb corruption in police and other agencies responsible for curbing this. Pan shops can be opened by anyone anywhere without any restrictions or permissions. Even tea vendors at every nuke & corner are involved.

We must enact stringent law even capital punishment for the drug peddlars. They are the root cause for this evil menace. Moral values should be inbibed to the youngsters is a must to eradicate or atleast minimise this drug menace.Engforcement officials should be asked to follow the rules and punish the culprits.In many hilly regions like Kumuly in Kerala, Cumbum vally Kodaikanal areas are having opium plants and minting money by this nefarious activities. The illgotten money is pumped to jewller

Severe punishment should be given to the people whoever involved in drug trafficking. But at the same time government has to be careful that most of the police officers are corrupted and it is easy for them to create a criminal case and trap innocent teenagers and youngsters to revenge on them. if something happens there should be some serious or even capital punishment to be awarded to such officers who ever is doing this crime.

Regular inter action with children by their parents/teachers can reduce a lot of youngsters/teenagers from falling to drug addiction. And make them aware about the realities of getting into this addiction. Most of the teachers ( I say not all the teachers) in this current world are not realizing their value/commitment to the society or they are ignorant that they are the real architects of the next generation of the world. counseling to be given to those already have addicted to drugs.

increase taxation on drugs and tobacco products. the major population getting into the drug addiction is the middle class which adopts drugs as a fashion but its use will definitely be affected when the price of commodity is increased by some folds. the government should also take an advantage of it by increasing the tax value and using it for national development. the increased price of tobacco will definitely affect the demand, only if the price is increased by a multiple

all information about drugs should be imparted to kids at the school level,thus making them aware about the ill effects of trying drugs for the first time mostly by their senior peers.Once made aware and alert in a proper informative and scientific manner many students can be saved from falling prey to the drug menace

the third suggestion is that as per as government is concerned, special emphasis on police administration with a society reformation team to support it. the society reforming team should comprise of people directly from the society- eminent professors, social workers, doctors, police specialist etc.

Smoking in public place should be strictly prohibited and frequent offenders should be punished with jail imprisonment

in the modern world, as a person gets promotion in life he starts becoming lonely. loneliness leads to depression, every person in his or her life has ambitions, aims, expectations from the hard work he does, in such cases society reformation is required. my suggestion is PERIODIC WORKSHOPS, both for women and men, specially teenagers.
