Chief minister Manohar Lal Khatter in his speech admitted that 40 death due to drug misuse had taken place in the district. Why is this happening, many wonder but there are many reasons why.
Drug Abuse Contributing Factors
The youth is under tremendous pressure, undergoing many issues such as unemployment and economic troubles that have aggravated the issue. The youth earlier would go to alcohol for their dependence. Which has now shifted to narcotics drugs like Heroin which is much more fatal. Large drug traffickers use Sirsa, which is close to Punjab, to grow their operations and provide narcotics to states like Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The big players in the drug scene use peddlers to transport the drugs to their consumers at their doorstep.
People in the state blame the culture and socio-economic reasons for this. The youth’s mistaken behavior is a result of their lack of sufficient education and supervision regarding the effects of drug misuse. Many of the habitual users suffer from depression and anxiety. Which puts them in a cycle and they do not seek help. Such users see the tragic ending to their fate in cases of suicide. There needs to be proper care and education regarding drugs in schools and colleges. For helping people stray away from harmful substances.
