Calls for black spot mapping, CCTV surveillance to curb drug peddling - The Goan Everyday - September 13, 2025. We are all aware that drugs are one of the biggest curses on society. It is not just the person addicted to drugs but the entire family that is disturbed on account of drugs. And it is the youngsters who are caught in its web. It is important, therefore, that this issue of drugs is tackled with utmost urgency and brute force if necessary. Does it take a protest or a delegation from any political party in order to act?
The authorities must order surveillance in all educational institutions and surrounding neighbourhoods and ensure that drug peddlers are dealt with severely. Awareness programmes and counselling would also help to a great extent. The task is difficult and huge but not impossible. What is needed is the willingness and sincerity to act.
