All educational institutions in Kerala will have Vimukthi clubs ahead of Gandhi Jayanti next year, Excise Minister Govindan said. It is about educating the younger generation about the threat of addiction to intoxicants.
It is true that we live in a time when even children fall prey to this evil. This happened because of the indifferent approach of the leaders. Although there is an age restriction for young people to access Bevco points of sale, it is not strictly enforced. Don't care attitude of the Police and the Excise has made this state a green turf for drug dealers. Even some police officers are agents of drug dealers and they are making a huge profit from this dirty business.
Having established countless Bevco outlets all around Kerala, it is unwise to open Vimukthi clubs in compasses and lament that addiction to intoxicants has reached a dangerous level. Drug and liquor cases cannot be controlled by cosmetic treatment, but strict police action is required to catch drug traffickers.
