Curbing Drugs Menace in the State for a Better Environment for the Youth

Hardcore drugs, tobacco and alcohol are chief substances consisting of underlying toxic ingredients, that may lead to irreversible health damage or untimely demise of an individual. And the bitter ground reality is that more than half of the substance abusers are youths. And more often than not, they start very young.

Children may learn what they perceive from their environment, be it under the boundary of their home and surveillance, the premises of the educational institution and supervision or simply around peer groups outside in the recreational zones. We can never be too careful when it comes to unanticipated addiction to lethal substances. Young minds tend to be naive hence, they get deeper into such habits, even when they want to get out of the addiction. And it is inevitable that once an individual falls into the trap of addiction, it is relatively harsh to come back to sobriety and fit into the norms of society.

Extreme addiction to illicit substances also has a higher likelihood in carving the path to criminal and unlawful directions. Instances of addiction and withdrawal have led to sinful crimes such as murder, smuggling, robbery and kidnapping amongst others. However, the consequences of substance addiction aren't limited to criminal activities alone. It can drastically affect one’s mental and physical health to the point of no return; in extreme cases, it may also lead to death.

Keeping the unfavourable aspects of toxic substance consumption as context, MyGov Arunachal invites you to share your valuable suggestions on measures to tackle drug menace-related issues in the state.
