The government should curb this menace by taking necessary steps and action. It’s not only the government but also the responsibility of all and sundry.
• Parental role is also significant.
• Society has the major role in fighting this by being Argues eyed to surrounding including the behaviour of youngsters in the locality.
• Instead of ostracizing the addicts there’s there is another way to deal which is to counsel them nicely.
Be kind towards them, so as to help them say No to Drugs.
Recreational centres are also a good source of help.
