WELCOME MOVE AGAINST NARCOTICS

Of late a welcome move could be noticed from different centres against narcotics. The prominent newspaper Malayala Manorama has assured strong participation with the state government in eradicating narcotics from the state. Other media too have come up in support of the move. Recently Syro Malabar Church, Pala has organised a large meeting consisting of eminent personalities to reach the people to ward off this dangerous evil from the society. 

Since this destructive element has gone deep into the society, relentless efforts from all corners are required to rout this menace from the society. We must systematically organise our plans. When we are thinking about a total eradication we must think about the coming generations too. Therefore, we may include this in the school syllabus from class 4 to 12. Similarly this could be included in the syllabus of Catechism classes of Christian Churches. Government may encourage production of more cinemas, serials and stories in the periodicals. The destructive impacts of narcotics should be made to reach the people, especially the youth in its total gravity. Parallelly more centres may be opened across the state to reform the addicts most effectively. 

Let each one of us contribute in our own ways to ward off this hazard from our state. Most important and shameful part of it is politicians direct and indirect involvement in the narcotic trade. The police intelligence must be aware of this.
