The drug menace among the youngsters could definitely be curbed if we take steps and spread awareness and education among our youngsters. The society has to develop a collective approach towards this issue."We need to implement reforms and actions to stop drug abuse. The civil society and the government have to be very practical. Selling of Suspicious drugs should be completely banned. Law enforcing agencies must crack down on drug mafia and stop the supplies of these drugs with immediate action," Bhalla said.
