After the Haryana Government decided to conduct a survey for opening drug de-addiction centres in the State, the Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Friday said the government had completely failed to curb the drug menace over the years.
“The government is now surveying to open drug de-addiction centres across the State. Whereas his first task is to curb this black empire by taking strict action against drug dealers. The government has completely failed to fulfil its responsibility. The young generation of the State and their innocent families are facing the brunt of this,” Mr. Hooda said in a statement.
Mr. Hooda said the youth of Haryana were facing an unprecedented phase of unemployment, which was pushing them towards drugs. “Due to unemployment, youth are constantly getting caught in the grip of drugs and crime. If we look at the latest NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau) data, we can see that Haryana has overtaken big States in terms of crime rate,” he said.
