These issues are a matter of deep concern; therefore everyone must take the responsibility to do something, since it is not only the locals that are affected. Persons who are involved in these illegal activities are a group of mixed community having broad links and communication, which definitely have interstate relation and linkage, especially amongst North Eastern States.
Citing an incident that recently police seized one vehicle coming from Manipur involved in this activity as per the press statement. Unfortunately the most affected group are youths and school or college going students who are easily falling prey and are easily indulged into it, which consequently is spoiling their future, the society and the state as a whole.
Another matter of serious concern is the increasing number of Drop out students, the rise of crimes and other illegal activities are contributing to this. To completely eradicate and curb down this type of business and activities is the immediate demand.
Hence government initiative to strategically deal with it is a must, and State Anti Narcotics Drugs and Other Intoxicants Substances Policy needs to be frame immediately and also Team of Expert or trained personnel needs to be kept in almost every Police Station in the City to deal with this specific matter.
