Drug addiction problem at Uttara:

Uttara is a beautiful area of Dhaka city. Thousands of people live here. All types of amenities are available here for the citizens. A good number of schools and colleges are located in Uttara. As a result, a large number of people like to reside in Uttara.

But recently, the problem of drug addiction has increased in this area. The most worrisome fact is that school- and college-going teenagers are becoming substance abusers. The drug sellers target students to increase their sales.

Students are putting pressure on their parents to manage money to buy drugs by telling lies. If they cannot manage money from home, they involve themselves in different anti-social activities like extortion, snatching, etc., for money.

Students are the future leaders of the country. But the terrible claws of drugs are destroying the beautiful future of young people.

To get rid of this awfully dangerous situation, the Narcotics Control Directorate and law enforcement agencies should launch a special drive against drugs and drug sellers. There should be zero tolerance against drug sellers.

Educational institutions should arrange counselling for their students to make them understand the dire consequences of drug addiction. Different socio-cultural organizations can show documentaries and dramas to raise awareness against drugs. These activities will make people conscious of the harmful side of drugs.

The drug has a close connection with crime. So, to build a drug- and crime-free, beautiful society, the authorities concerned should take immediate steps. Moreover, to ensure a bright future for the young people of society, drug use and drug addiction should be stopped right now.

Reluctant to be named

Alarming spread of drug addiction in Mirpur

Drug addiction has become one of the most serious problems in our area, Mirpur. Drugs are available within easy reach, so people of different ages, including young people and teenagers, can buy and use them. Many young people are becoming addicted to drugs and ruining their lives.

In fact, violence against women and different types of crimes happen mainly due to drugs. As a result, it is destroying the peace and security of our community.

Department of Narcotics Control and other concerned authorities should take stern action to protect the young people of this area from the devastating grip of drugs. The local people believe that if the members of the law enforcement agencies arrest the identified drug dealers, it will be a great step to stop the drug business and sales.

Some areas of Mirpur are widely known as hubs for buying and selling drugs. Law enforcement agencies should increase their surveillance to curb the open sale and spread of drugs.

Moreover, parents, teachers, and community leaders should raise awareness about the harmful effects of drug addiction. Besides, to help addicted people return to normal life, there should be ample opportunities. The government, social welfare, and charitable organizations should come forward to ensure proper rehabilitation and bring the drug victim back from the dark path of drugs.
