Dimapur Naga Students' Union Demands Strict Action As Drug Abuse Among Youth Increases In Dimapur

DIMAPUR: The Dimapur Naga Students' Union (DNSU) has expressed serious concerns over the rise in drug abuse among students and the youth in and around Dimapur.

The Police Department and various civil society organizations (CSOs) have been relentlessly engaged in its pursuit of battling the growing drug menace in Nagaland.

Despite the uncompromising and hardline approach towards drug abuse adopted in the state, the prevailing situation on the ground remains far from over as the drug usage continues to increase, the Union warned.

This sets a negative precedent in society and poses serious threat to the well-being of all sections of society.

It may be noted that the DNSU has repeatedly raised the issue of substance abuse in the past. They have also claimed that  supply and sale of drugs have surged within the district, marking a troubling trend.

The Union is of the view this disturbing development aggravates the the challenges faced by communities and jeopardizes efforts to create a safe environment for the younger generation.
