STALIN VOWS TO ROOT OUT DRUG MENACE IN STATE

Promises to kick-start massive movement soon, urges depts to take coordinated action

- 

CHIEF Minister MK Stalin said the prevalence of narcotic substances is not just a law and order issue but also a social issue and a massive movement will be launched to eliminate it in the state.

Stalin said this while reviewing the progress made in the ongoing welfare and developmental schemes in various districts.

Collectors of 14 districts participated in the meeting chaired by the chief minister at the secretariat. In the coming days, the CM is likely to hold discussions with the collectors of the rest of the districts also.

Interacting with the collectors, Stalin said though the state government has contained the prevalence of narcotic substances to a large extent, it is not sufficient. The menace has to be eliminated totally.
