(1) Double or triple the trained dog squads at all airports. Not a single baggage should go unchecked for drugs. (2) All our borders are porous for drug traffickers. Even our security/paramilitary forces at several levels are sometimes compromised to enable drug trafficking from other countries. We should have the best tech surveillance mechanisms to detect and prevent this. (3) Drug trailing starting with known addicts must be done with professional expertise to bust the supply routes.

Drugs use are mostly in Higher class of Society or very poor class of Society. Those who are without social values , illiterate, and without ambition/ responsibility,unemployed or wants to be unemployed are Using Drugs . This can minimize by close monitoring, laws, and awareness. Moreover Prosperity of Nation (India) shall automatically minimize this menace . See the example of Western Country. We are Hopeful to achieve that

4) The government should also set-up a Helpline at national level (like anti-ragging helpline) to help children, parents of the affected child to come out of the addiction. END

3) Secondly, parents should spend some time with their children so that they can open up and share their problems. Unfortunately, if the child has fallen into the habit of taking drugs, the parents should not blame the affected child but find a solution to get the child out of the habit by giving moral support and taking professional help. The parents should also report the matter to police, who should act sensitively and try to break the chain of drug suppliers/ mafia. Contd......4....

2) All parents must follow a rule towards their children ‘Paisa Kam Paayar Zyada’ (less money more love). Most of the parents feel that their children will be happy if they give them more pocket money and not ask any account of how they have spent the money. But by doing so their children will develop bad habits including falling in the trap of taking drugs to overcome the loneliness. Contd......3..

1) Slowly stop cultivation of tobacco, red arecanut, opium, poppy and encourage farmers to go for alternative cultivation. The government agencies can help and educate these farmers in identifying suitable alternative crop which will fetch them good returns. Contd....2

Sir, due to word limit, could not complete. The third promise should be not befriend persons who disrespect women. I think Rakhi days these three promises will help to bring a change in the society. Regards, Naresh Goyal

Dear sir, your appeals have value and are respected world over. Declaration of 21st June as international Yoga day is just one such example. Disrespect for women is as big a curse as any other in our system. i have a suggestion to you to appeal to people to celebrate Raksha Bandan as a day to commit to Respect Every Woman. On the Raksha Bandan, all sisters, mothers, daughters should ask the men in their family to pledge to respect all women. And the 2nd promise to spread this to friends

This is a very important topic for young and old. I am an NRI, who loves India very much. I have nothing bad to say, but every where I go, I stop people from doing wrong, stop the ill treating of cows, feed the poor, help in my own way to poor as much as I can. But we need to educate public, by putting more ads to put a stop to unhealthy habits people already have for a long time period. Drug addiction coaching in schools by govt officials, and on Radio/TV/Road signs in villages/cities.
