DLSA reaches Gossner College campus to create awareness against drug addiction
Explain cause, effects and remedy
Ranchi: Gossner College students were today made aware of the negative impact of drug addiction in a programme organised by District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Ranchi, on the direction of Jharkhand Legal Services Authority (JHALSA).
Those present during the programme to create awareness included advocate Rajesh Kumar Sinha, mediator P.N. Singh, Life Savers chief Atul Gera of Life Savers , teachers of Gossner College Dr. S.K. Sinha, Dr. Shyamlata, Prof. Tripti, law students, Akshita Kumari, Kumari Kajal, Asmeet Patel, Anjita Rai, Shambhavi, Sonal, Akshat Parashar, Akshar Aditya, PLV Manav, Raja and others.
Advocate Rajesh Kumar Sinha gave information about the crimes related to trading of opium, ganja, heroin, brown sugar and cultivation of opium under the Drugs and Psychotropic Substances-1985 and told the students about the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940. Apart from this, focus was laid on NDPS, NCB and Article 47 of the Constitution.
Mediator P.N. Singh focused on the reason behind drug addiction and how to become free from it.
“Drug addiction is a curse for all of us, which is common in our society. Due to lack of good education, people become victims of drug addiction and other physical consequences at an early age and remain addicted to drugs throughout their life. De-addiction means freeing a person or society from addiction, that is, it is an attempt to prevent drug addiction or remove its addiction,” Singh said.
Atul Gera shed light on drug elimination. He explained in detail about the effects of drug addiction.
“A person remains healthy by not taking drugs. Drug addiction destroys the quality of the body. It affects the entire family. Drug addiction causes financial, mental and physical damage to the family, which can never be compensated. A drug addict spends all his money on drug addiction, which affects his family, and the family gets destroyed. A drug addict roams around like a mad person, due to which his dignity also gets destroyed,” Gera said.
Students on the occasion were also informed about the special Lok Adalat related to motor vehicle accidents to be held on 8th June and the National Lok Adalat to be held on 13th July and leaflets and pamphlets related to drug addiction were also distributed among them.
