Rapid Spread of Drug Addiction across the Country / Drug Abuse Alarmingly Rising in Bangladesh / Drug Addiction Turning Desperate at Motijeel,Dhaka
Staff Reporter, Motijeel,Dhaka, July 5, 2022: Drug addiction is a growing problem among the youths in Motijeel, Dhaka. Many people from different age groups and backgrounds, including middle-aged people, housewives, and students, have become addicted to drugs. This has caused a deterioration in education standards as students have stopped attending schools and colleges, and even professors are getting addicted. The police have reported a significant increase in drug-related arrests of teenagers in the last few years.
The root cause of this addiction is frustration, and drug abuse has become a fashion and recreation for many. Drug dealing has become a profitable business, and the uncontrolled trade has worsened the situation, with the police turning a blind eye. The drugs being used include phencyclidine, opium, and even heroin, leading the youths towards a fatal end. They are also committing serious crimes like hijacking, looting, killing, and robbery to buy drugs, endangering the social security of the people.
The helpless people are eager to get rid of this problem, and the government's attention is needed to tackle it effectively. Everyone needs to be sincere in driving this curse of drug addiction from society, and local people can play a vital role in this regard. Only a collective effort can help in eradicating this growing problem of drug addiction from Motijeel, Dhaka.
