Memorandum submitted at Siliguri’s Pradhannagar Police Station seeking crackdown on drug menace

According to local residents, open consumption of narcotics in parts of Natun Bazar under the jurisdiction of Pradhannagar Police Station has become a matter of serious concern. They alleged that an increasing number of youths are falling prey to addiction, adversely affecting both their future and the social environment of the locality.

Expressing concern over the situation, members of the organisation said the initiative was aimed at ensuring a safer future for young people and creating a drug-free society.

The organisation appealed to the police to intensify regular anti-narcotics drives, curb the sale of illegal substances, and take strict action against those involved in the drug trade.
