National Narcotics Control Bureau (NNCB) reports that drug users in Maldives pay RS 2million or more to pursue the deadly habit which is killing one-third of our younger generation while enriching the despicable criminals who indulge in this trade.
The only way to save our younger generation from the scourge of drugs is to enforce death penalty for drug traffickers. Our Government should conduct intense inspections at all entry points into Maldives so that we can stop the inflow of drugs.
Will our Government ever get tough to deal with the criminals trafficking and selling drugs or are we as a nation destined to witness the slow, degrading and painful death of our youngsters?
This is an unbelievable scenario. Maldives is now richer than an LDC country (least developed country as defined by UN) and we are going to allow foreigners to invest in mega projects in this country that will further increase the income gap while the majority of our population are still struggling to meet their daily needs. The illegal drug trade is enriching the criminals and killing those who fall into their trap. Most of the drug users and addicts would not have the kind of money to continue their deadly habit and so it leads to robbery and crime. This has become an epidemic and the whole society is suffering and yet the Government has still not decided to take firm action to put away the traffickers for good, while continuing to provide proper treatment for rehabilitation.
