Becoming a haven for drug traffickers?

What is alarming is that in most of the cases of big drug haul and trafficking we were provided due intelligence information yet unable to round up the suspects. Clearly there is reluctance on the part of our intelligence and administration to deal with the matter with any degree of seriousness. It is not understandable as to why every time there is an emerging incident we are provided advanced intelligence information by foreign agencies but to little use. Why no visible action has yet been taken against any perpetrator? It is our conviction that our intelligence is as good as they come from outside but what is lacking is the will and commitment.

Today the entire society is burdened with extreme hopelessness and uncertainties, particularly the younger section of the population and hence more susceptible to drug abuse. Let us also remember that with drugs abuse come heinous crimes involving big money and rise in immoral acts. It is often closely linked with illegal dealing and purchase of firearms by criminal gangs.

We therefore urge the government and its relevant agencies responsible for control and eradication of drug trafficking and abuse to gear up their actions and protect the people and the society from its serious consequences.
