At a time when the Assam government is launching a major anti-drug campaign, the mother of a deceased drug addict, has urged Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to take action to end the state’s drug problem.
However, the drug addict was identified as Manoj Deka, a 27-year-old from Mashalpur in Assam’s Baska district, who died recently from a drug overdose.
Deka’s body was discovered in the toilet of a petrol station in Mashalpur’s Barama neighbourhood
Moreover, two injections and one empty container were discovered in the deceased adolescent’s possession.
Manoj Deka’s mother claimed that her son was unable to overcome his drug addiction because drugs were readily available in the area.
The mother said, “I had stopped him a couple of times but he would never listen to me. He was also sent to a rehabilitation centre for treatment, but he failed to quit taking drugs. I lost my son but I don’t want other mothers to lose their sons too. Government should do something to eradicate the drug menace from Assam. If they fail to take action, the state will be ruined because of drugs,”
However, Manoj’s father also said, “Nowadays drug abuse is a serious problem among the new generation. There are many drug addicts and smugglers in our area. There is the easy availability of drugs. It was the reason that my son couldn’t quit. My son is gone, and now, I cry the whole night with his photograph in my hand. I request Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, to do something to end the drug menace in the state. I would be grateful.”
