Awareness amongst youth about side effects of drugs can be done by lectures in academic institutions, nukkad dramas, self help groups etc. Parents can be asked to observe change in the behaviour of their wards. inculcate good values, sanskar in children right from the childhood. Strict rules about drug trafficking can be done. Drug addicts should be motivated for using Rehabilitation centres . All academic institutions should have a psychologist in counselling centre.

Clutches of bad elements of society. Poor n rich both r using it some for fun n some for forgetting d real world. It is visible every where but police can't see it that's irony. It explains the whole story. We take d people to rescue centre for cure from drug, what a wrong treatment. Treat their frustration. Treat the society n powerful people who creat frustration n discrimination in society. What is solution: smile n see ur inner self. Try to correlate n pain of others n decide what I m doing?

Our life style now mostly follow western. Our British time type education not to support built our character & career. Now education system completely bogus & useless. We only need certificate and then job.After get job or any income & money come but we have not any planning to invest money for character building as well as Nation building. We only compare each other with money & earn money wrong way. Childrens from young easily get huge money invest wrong way & adicted drugs.Frustration also.

Across the border, drug is imported with the help of BSF, Army by drug peddler which includes high position people from politics n administration. These drugs are distributed by crime gangs n terrorists. These drugs r used by people frustrated from

Everybody knows how to stop this. It is d will of government to fulfill d promises of common people. Congress failed in 60 years why? Others will also fail if they don't analyse these issue. Talent has no respect in this country. Everybody want free solutions for themselfs. Nobody thinks about others aspirations. 'Man ki bat' should be two way process n Govt. should know d aspirations of youth n supporters whom supported them wholeheartedly. Ignorance, anger, anti-incumbency are also drug effect

In every spheres of life be it political, social or corporates; openly people disregards talents n favours their cast, region n religion. Big People openly propagate wrong ideals n it encourage others to also do wrongs. Drug is exploiting humans n society n it is happening because society n Government is part of this crime. It is impossible to import, stock, sale n purchase of drugs. We creat demand for this. If Government n society is firm drugs can be used not abused. Lots of methods r there n
