'Drug Abuse on Rise, finds survey'!
The article goes on to proclaim - India has a total of 7.5 crore addicts out of which there are 6.25 Crore alcoholics, 90 lakh cannabis addicts, 2.5 lakh opiate users & 8-10 lakh illicit drug users.
My question is Why are we still conducting surveys?
What will be done?
Will the ministry appoint a larger team to tackle this ever spreading menace.
