Police crackdown on drugs

Police have stepped up raids to check the supply of illegal drugs like painkiller tablets and cough syrup as well as country liquor, with many youths getting addicted to drugs and alcohol here.

The police have already seized a significant quantity of country liquor and dismantled some outlets here.

BJP leader and physician, Debamoy Sanyal, who has been working on creating awareness among youths about addiction, said youths with a drug habit had sparked off violence in the recent past.

Sanyal said consumption of liquor, tablets and capsules may lead to incoherent behaviour. Dhubri additional superintendent of police, Prasanta Dutta, said owing to action against addicts and peddlers, many had pledged not to indulge in such activities any more. “We have already dismantled many country liquor outlets and raided dens of drug peddlers and will continue our work,” he said.
