Dear Editor,
This refers to your article ‘Drug addiction the nemesis of our generation’ (ST- July 5). Drug addiction is the scourge of humanity and drug trafficking is a heinous crime punishable by death. Killing someone or helping someone to kill himself is equal to a crime. The ones who are trafficking and helping such drugs reach each and every corner of the country are committing a big crime. Most of the people fall a prey to the narcotics sellers due to their ignorance. The youths today are head to toe in drugs. The extent to which this problem has reached is heart rendering. Drug trafficking is one of the major crime. Killing someone or helping someone to kill himself is equal to a crime. This is what common sense and human sense says. Drugs and drug dealing is a scourge that can bring down a mature and intelligent society to intolerable levels of depravity. There should be no leniency when talking about peddlers and pushers who destroy the victim and his kith and kin and put the victim into unalterable habit which will make the individual take to all crimes including murder and rape. If we need to stop this menace from spreading we need harsh steps and stringent punishments. Only love and affection can help the youth from falling into clutches of drugs. Societal control is necessary along with legal skeleton. Let us develop our Lives, our Communities, and our Identities…Without Drugs.
