Drug menace
A helpless citizen, Bangladesh
I am the father of a drug addict boy. My son was very good as a student (managed to get all A in his O-level) before he got addicted to Phensidyl. I have already admitted my son twice to a rehab centre, but it seems he gets into addiction again after a certain period of time. That is why I am planning to migrate to Canada by closing all my businesses here. I am a renowned businessman in society and I have never felt so helpless in my life. By the grace of Allah , I can avail the opportunity to leave this country but I feel really sad whenever I think that there are so many parents in the country who have no such option. I know there are many reasons behind drug addiction ,but in case of my son the only problem is that he gets Phensidyl very easily in Dhaka. I do not see any hope that the government would take strict action against it. I know that under the banner of Prothom Alo and The Daily Star, you people are working very hard to make Dhaka a drug free city. I earnestly request you to continue your operations. It will be great if you can identify the different places where this Phensidyl trading is going on. You can directly go there in good numbers and face the drug dealers. I know what I am suggesting may require going against the law, but what else we can do when the lawmakers are the main lawbreakers in the country? Please take action, please help guardians like us who are on the verge of committing suicide or leaving this country!
