According to a report published by the UN, drug consumption in India has increased by a mammoth 35 % in the last 10 years. This tells us that there is a imminent need to address this problem before it is too late.

The Andhra Pradesh police and the government have been very blunt about their stand over consumption of drugs, illegal trafficking of narcotics and liquor and sale of narcotics. A Special Enforcement Bureau has been instated to crackdown on the sale of narcotics and illicit liquor in the state.

This, 26th June, let’s all join hands in the war against substance abuse and help those who care for us do their job better.
