One of the aspects that Excise Department officials find most alarming in Kerala is rise in drug abuses related to schools. School students form a large part of the customer base for narcotic drugs.
Nearly 70 percent of school children in the state are vulnerable to narcotics abuse. Not only students use narcotics, a few of them act as a supplier to schoolmates.
So in this context Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu saying that the government alone would not be able to tackle the problem of growing drug abuse, is significant. The parents, teachers and the entire society would have to be involved to check the menace.. The State should set up special cells to deal with the problem and honest and sincere officers are to be posted to deal with the situation.
