Chapainawabganj Correspondent:
The youth of Chandalai Jorbagan area have formed a human chain against the terrible drug menace, drug sales and users in Chandalai Jorbagan slum area of Chapainawabganj municipality. The human chain program was held in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office at 10:30 am on Thursday.
Former army officer Alhaj Sayeduzzaman, General Secretary of Chapainawabganj City Press Club Mehedi Hasan, former Senior Warrant Officer Bahar Ali, former Warrant Officer Ziaur Rahman spoke at the human chain. BNP leaders Shawkat Ali and Yusuf Ali Lavlu, local resident Sagar spoke expressing solidarity with the locals. Later, a memorandum was submitted to the Deputy Commissioner.
The speakers at the human chain said that the future generations of Bangladesh are being harmed by the drug menace. If we do not stop it now, the future generations of the country will be immersed in darkness. Almost half of the population in the country is children, adolescents and young people. They are the leaders of the nation in the future. A terrible aggressive addiction called drugs is slowly eating away at our generation.
If someone in a family becomes addicted to drugs, only the members of that family can tell what pain a drug addict is. Therefore, we must immediately arrest the administration and give exemplary punishment to those selling and consuming drugs in the Chandlai Jorbagan area, otherwise the local people will build maximum resistance.
