To eradicate the menace from our society, we have to work as a unit; be it Social activists, administration, police, parents, civil society, school teachers or the religious clerics. We have to do our best to safeguard the future of our kids by making stringent laws, punishing the culprits and spreading awareness around but eradicating drug menace from our society needs a collective push,”
