ITANAGAR, Jun 2:  Expressing concern at the involvement of two IRBN personnel in drug dealing, the Arunachal Pradesh Women’s Welfare Society (APWWS) said that
Men in uniform involved in such act is the saddest part and sends out a wrong message and called for mandatory drug test.
It appreciated the state police for its strong action against drug abuse and peddling in the state.
Police forces are working hard and has caught huge quantities of drugs and arrested peddlers from Capital Complex and various parts of the State which is worthy of appreciation, it said.
APWWS wholeheartedly appreciates the State Government and Police Department for launching an intensive operation against drugs abuse and peddling which is killing our younger generations and have ruined many families, it said.
It further welcomed the State Government's recent decision to take stringent action against erring employees after giving one time opportunity to report themselves about their addiction history.
If the State Government can draw up some mechanism including mandatory drug testing prior to joining government job and earmark sufficient budget to create extensive awareness in schools and colleges and rehabilitation, it will help in curbing the menace, the society said.
It's seen that many families are struggling with the rehabilitation of their children who are affected by drugs, APWWS said.
