Rinkesh Bairagi,

Navratri is being performed continuously throughout the country, in this joyous festival of worship and joy, devotees are reaching the pinnacle of worship of Shakti by becoming supremely pure. The youth are enjoying dance under the influence of Garbo rhythm in the mild coolness of Sharadya Navratri, but a part of the young generation is misusing the relaxation provided by coming to this festival. He is entangling himself in the web of drugs and is running in the misguided world of drugs. Those responsible are negligent and turning away from their duty.

It has been seen mostly during these nights of Navratri, the youth go to the pandals for Garba Raas from home and seek permission from their parents and instead of reaching the pandals, they go to deserted roads or secluded places and consume intoxicants with their friends. Is. For the initial intoxication like tobacco consumption, they consume it by going away from the crowd or for beedi cigarette, they consume it in a corner or in the dark, away from people they know, but the higher intoxication, whether it is alcohol consumption, ganja or opium, , consumption of white powder, drugs or intoxicants, when the youth consumes such intoxicantsSo instead of reaching the pandals, they hide at unspecified places and indulge in intoxicants.Liquor is easily available at dhabas operating at many places in the city. Now the police or excise department does not take action at such places because the dhaba operator salutes from under the table. To get addicted to drugs, youth choose such isolated places where one has to pass through dirt to reach them or they also consume drugs in such places where no one comes and goes. Intoxicants are injected into the veins in the back and lower parts of the sports field.

The condition of every city is the same, the youth are spoiling their entire life and the life they were meant to live by getting drunk for a few moments of pleasure. The police ignores them even after seeing them, they are concerned about their duty these days and nights, they get tired of doing the duty of Garba Raas organized in Pandals. It is the responsibility of the parents to keep updating the children and it is also the responsibility of the organizers to immediately inform the police if they see such elements and at the same time to highlight it socially.  

However, it is certainly the police’s fault because when the child is pushing himself while intoxicated, then why are his family members not stopping him? Why are parents, despite knowing and wanting, not keeping their children away from drug addiction? Why don’t the family members teach the children that drug addiction is fatal, it has side effects and drug addiction is harmful for the body as well as fatal for the coming generations.

However, if the police wish, they can reach out to drug dealers through intoxicated youth during the last phase of Navratri or they can trace these intoxicated youth and expose them to their families through social organizations. If the youth is in the initial stages of drug addiction, then he can get away from drug addiction with the help of parents’ advice and good company, and if the youth has gone further into drug addiction, then he can be sent to a de-addiction center or can be helped to improve him socially. Options can be found. The responsibility for which social organizations should take, they should pay special attention only to the main tasks like giving reformative speeches, getting photos along with names printed in newspapers.
