Steps to save youths from drug menace

The country’s youths would be destroyed if they become addicted to drugs and narcotics, and if society does not take serious counter measures.

Otherwise, it would be too late to stop the impending disaster, said, Deputy Inspector General, Western Province North, Deshabandu Thennakoon.

He was addressing the media at Peliyagoda Police auditorium in Gampaha, recently.

He warned the people of those in their neighbourhoods who become rich overnight and could be drug peddlers. “It is the duty of all to bring these people before the law,” he said. Such people who suddenly enjoy a lavish life can draw suspicion.

He urged the media to educate the people to be vigilant so that the spread drug addiction among youths can be stopped.

Thennakoon said any information on suspicious people could be reported to the phone numbers; Gampaha 0713210001; Negombo 0713668001 and Kelaniya 0713580001.
