Drug Abuse: An Unending Menace in the Valley

Date:

Drug abuse can be categorised as one of the worst kinds of social evils besides being an exceptionally hazardous practice that not only impairs the cognitive abilities of a person but it holds enough potential to inflict lifelong damages to the health of addicts.

There is an alarming surge in the drug addiction cases across Kashmir valley that has now crossed the mark of several thousands. The situation on ground level is becoming more tense with every passing day as a great number of these drug addicts are youth who are viciously falling into its malicious trap.

Spasmodically, the police have successfully busted various drug peddling circles in different parts of the valley where, most of the times, a large quantity of drugs has been seized.

The new statistical data available on this subject suggests that there has been a manifold increase in the consumption of such drugs.

Though, many drug addicts use these dangerous drugs for seeking pleasure while others desire to alter consciousness in order to flee from the pain and trepidation they face in their lives.

However, the health hazards resulting from such consumption is immensely nerve-wracking and leaves its consumers in state of utter destruction.

While speaking on a societal level, the criminal practice of Drug addiction is also detrimental to the growth and progress of a developing society. In various areas the increase in crime rates is now being linked with spikes in drug abuse.

The results of this mal-practice are absolutely horrendous due to which many families in Kashmir have been devastated. At the end, it is the whole family which has to face the brunt of its consequences collectively.

This self-imposed plague is currently eating into the vitals of our community and unfortunately its prime targets are our budding youth.

The war against drugs needs to be intensified on different fronts while seeking cooperation from the administration, NGO’s & Trusts, thinkers, educationists, religious leaders, social workers and most importantly parents and teachers.

The apt steps taken today with regards to impeding the spread of this ominous practice in society will ensure that our future is secure otherwise our children will have to witness the days that will be all gloomy and dark.
