SC raises alarm over rising drug abuse among youth

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday termed drug abuse a generational threat that could "corrode the shine of the nation's youth" and expressed concern over substance abuse being seen as a "cool" lifestyle marker.

"The debilitating impact of drug trade and drug abuse is an immediate and serious concern for India. The arc and web of drug trade cannot be permitted to corrode the shine of the youth of India," stated justices BV Nagarathna and N Kotiswar Singh, calling for immediate action from stakeholders including parents, society and state authorities.
