'Punjab is a border State. If somebody wants to finish the country, they will start with the borders. It is very easy to ruin the lives of the youth,' Justice MR Shah remarked.

'Very easy to ruin the youth', Supreme Court slams Punjab govt over drug menace 

'Punjab is a border State. If somebody wants to finish the country, they will start with the borders. It is very easy to ruin the lives of the youth,' Justice MR Shah remarked.

The Supreme Court has asked the Punjab government to issue a circular stating that local police will be held accountable for illegal liquor manufacturing units (bhattis) operating under their vigil.
The directions were issued by a bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar on a petition challenging an order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which had refused to transfer the probe into the cases of illegal liquor manufacturing to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). According to the petitioner, there is a bhatti in every mohalla (locality) in Punjab.
The Court remarked that this was unfortunate and said that the police have to make every effort to save the country, as it is very easy to ruin the youth, especially in border states like Punjab. "This is unfortunate. Punjab is a border State. If somebody wants to finish the country, they will start with the borders. They (the police) have to take every effort to save the country. It is very easy to ruin the youth," the Court said.
The Court, therefore, directed the State to file a reply mentioning steps taken by it to fight domestic, commercial production of illicit liquor and how seized funds will be used for awareness campaigns or increasing manpower.
It further suggested that the State come out with a circular that if an illegal bhatti is found, the concerned local police will be held responsible for not being vigilant. The matter will be heard further on December 12, 2022.

Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor's brother Siddhanth Kapoor was released on bail late on Monday after he was arrested for alleged consumption of drugs. 
The other four people arrested have also been released on bail, said police.
Siddhanth Kapoor and the four others will have to further appear before the police as and when called, said Bheema Shankar Gulled, Deputy Commissioner of Police for East Bengaluru.
Siddhanth Kapoor was detained by Bengaluru Police earlier in the day for allegedly consuming drugs at a party in the city on Sunday night.
Guled said, "Siddhanth Kapoor's medical shows he had consumed drugs. We have already arrested him and are following the procedure. We will be sending him to judicial custody."
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a hotel on MG Road in the city on Sunday night where a party was hosted.
"Last night we got info that a party is going on and they have consumed drugs. We raided and detained 35 people. We didn't find any drugs on their person but found MDMA and ganja disposed of nearby. We will investigate CCTV to check who disposed it of," added DCP Guled.
Samples of people suspected of having consumed drugs were sent for medical tests and Siddhanth's sample tested positive. Police said it was unclear whether they had consumed drugs at the hotel or had come to the party after taking drugs outside.
"The hotel has been given notice, we have asked specific questions, they will have to answer. Bengaluru city police have declared war on drugs and this was part of it. Earlier in the month, we had conducted a raid where 34 people tested positive for drugs," added the senior police officer.

Children these days have access to a lot of information at a very young age due to social media and smartphone use so the earlier you can talk to them about it, the better it is.
You can use any opportunity like a movie or life event as a teaching moment to discuss drug use without making them feel intimidated.&nbsp;

Just be mindful that you don't force the conversation and give your child the chance to gather their thoughts. It is not feasible to start having sit-down discussions all of a sudden just because you found out something. But you can always approach the topic by saying that you would like to talk about this and give them the time and space to process it.

Worried that your kid might have a drug problem? Look out for these signs!

Using drugs with the intent of getting intoxicated for having fun is considered drug abuse. When recreational use turns into a habit that one cannot live without&nbsp;or control,&nbsp;then it can be termed a drug addiction.

Are you using drugs? Do you have an addiction? These are questions that no parent feels comfortable asking. But as times change, more and more children are&nbsp;falling prey to the allure of drug and alcohol abuse.&nbsp;
In fact, nearly 1.5 crore children in India are victims of drug addiction.&nbsp;In a&nbsp;survey conducted between&nbsp;May 2019 to June 2020&nbsp;by the&nbsp;National Drug Dependence Center at AIIMS New Delhi, at least 10 per cent of 6,000 children surveyed admitted to using drugs.&nbsp;

<li>Spraying air freshener or perfume in the room more often&nbsp;</li>
