Youth Ambassador, Jammu & Kashmir for International Youth Society, Member of International Human Rights Commission Fahar Baba, said our society is full of evils nowadays but I thinks the major evils our society faces is an alarming rise in drug abuse.
Reeling from decades-old political conflict and recently rising cases of COVID-19, Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir is also battling an alarming rise in drug abuse. Our people especially youth are lured into drug net intentionally with a purpose.
The need of the hour is come farward and asked people to help combat the deadly menace before it is too late. There has been a surge in the number of patients suffer from drugs from last few years.
Even during the communication clampdown and lockdown period followed by India’s decision to revoke the special semi-autonomous status of the region last year on Aug 5, there was no decrease in the drug abuse cases.
The more worrisome trend that many patients even after getting treatment once again turn to drugs when they join the society.
Hard drugs like heroin and cocaine bring permanent changes into the human system, once an individual gets addicted.I believe that it is a big underground narcotic nexus that targets youth and children.
We need to unmask those faces who are running this drug racket before it is too late and the government must act fast on it.
