Karnal, September 23
To identify drug addicts and to bring them back to the mainstream, the Karnal Range Police have started a campaign 'Know your drug addicts'. Under it, each SHO will identify drug addicts and will rehabilitate them.
So far, 59 drug addicts have been identified in the three districts, which come under the range. "We have identified 33 drug addicts in Karnal, 14 in Kaithal and 12 in Panipat district under this campaign. All SHOs have been told to identify the drug addicts of their areas for their treatment and rehabilitation," said Bharti Arora, IG, Karnal Range.
The IG directed the SHOs to treat them as victims and not as criminals so that they could shun addiction, return to the mainstream and enjoy their family life. The SHOs have also been told to take the help of rehab centres and the public for their treatment as well as for making them aware of the ill-effects of drugs.
Another aim of the initiative is to arrest suppliers in these districts. "If there is an addict in any area, then somebody is supplying drugs to him. So a drive is being initiated to catch peddlers so that the supply chain can be interrupted in the three districts." — TNS
