CRIME : Understanding Drug Addiction
Spread the love

Sikkim is our small yet beautiful, cleanest state famous for the scenic beauty and warm hospitable people, yet on the other extreme, it is tormented by the problem of drug abuse, what we call the “small” state actually holds a very high average of drug abuse, and consumption of alcohol in both urban and rural areas, nationwide.

Now, we know there are going to be repercussions physically, mentally and emotionally, it is not a new subject matter, all of us know someone or the other in our family or outside who is an alcoholic or a drug abuser, it is so common that we take it like more of a ‘casual’ thing.

Drug dealing also happens repeatedly, recently there was an incident where a young man aged about 35 years from Joerthang was caught at Melli Checkpost where contraband substances were recovered from vehicle , haul included 220 bottles of cough syrup, 1772 SP tablets and also a sum of 62100 Rs, and in another similar incident also registered  by NDPS a total of 606 pouches of Heroine (Brown Sugar) amounting to 336.06 grams was also seized in Melli.

Per pouch weighs about 0.5 gm whose market value is estimated to be of Rs 600 to 800 per pouch. In this case two persons were nabbed whereas driver managed to flee towards WB side.
