Committed to PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO KNOW Vol. 5 Num 562 Sun. December 25, 2005       Letters to Editor Lethal drug addiction Waliullah, Intl. Islamic University, Chittagong Drug addiction is lethal to our civilization. It corrodes our life gradually. The whole world has been contaminated by the tenacious bite of drug-addiction. Drug-addition has been broken out in an epidemic form particularly among the youth in the whole world. They are becoming addicted by taking drug like pathedrine, phensedyl, heroin, cocaine and so on. Those who are becoming addicted most of all are suffering from frustration in a broken family and also due to unemployment. Sometimes supply of spurious drugs is the cause of a lot of premature deaths. Drug trafficking should be strictly checked. There should be strong family ties so that they don't go astray. We have to develop mass consciousness against addiction to save our future citizens.
