There are some specfic drugs that I had seen Youngster take from chemists all over india...I believe 10-15 in mumbers that include syrup,Capsules and Injections specifcially.GOverment can easily regulate the inflow and consumption of thses drugs across country.I had seen Youngster around me 4-5 who died in their prime youth because of these drugs.So with the regultion of enerty and exit of these drugs,we can regulate it easily so that greedy chemists for their profit dont play with youngsters.

A lot of people get into drugs for the 'fun' of it, and then later resort to it if they are stressed. Young people want what they address as 'easy money'. I'd suggest giving cash rewards for reporting a distributor of drugs.

It is said that drugs are now available at the level of schools the rural villages and towns. Drug mafias have their connections down to school children level. In most cases they operate under the awareness of the local law officials. Police must have internal team to audit and assess their own functions, common man must be given the opportunity to report easily such identified cases, the auditing eyes of the law must extend to the local schools and villages even. Root causes to be dealt with.

First of all I would like to thank Our Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, for taking such a initiative. Sir the main thing which is bringing more people in the dark,vicious circle of drug is PEER PRESSURE. Second thing is DIVERSION from their work.I have seen so many people getting into addiction.They come so far to study but at the end of the day they end up choosing DRUG to entertain their self. This can be prevented by catching such people who sell death in open market.Thank You

Police knows everything, how to restrict,they have the data.. if they act correctly, 90% cases we can control,some police are biased towards rich guys... Give the counselling the people,take them with society love them and deviate their mind towards some work.

2. Enthuastic People : This Enthusiasm will come at the teenage,make a trail,lets enjoy this life ! "this attitude has started in the teens or middle age people driven towards having smoke and Alchol" some people are in control,some people wonot and spoil their life. 3.Parties: Most of the cases we are seeing here, one rich guy will spoil all others,for fun the people starts, and at the end their life is become funny.

Hi, First to find the reason why the people are adicut for these drugs? ,which class of people and what their age?.. why they got addict ? Any kind of problem is start when the people are not controlling the mind. My views: 1.Extreemly depressed people,they do not get the sleeps and they want to forget their sorrows. Remedy :by practice yoga, to control the mind and some activities that they are with the society,should not leave him alone.

Cannabis: is difficult at this stage and more than user cultivator & supplier need to be convinced for alternate crop. launch orchard revival scheme, alternate crop, ropeway for transportation, mini cold store, incentives to industry to set up processed food there. I wish i had surplus funds i could have done it on my own. Though please these will help as i have worked here a lot. Chemical drugs: just shut down illegal himachal pharma units and u will see the change
