THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The state government has constituted a think-tank to monitor in detail drug abuse and rising violent tendencies among the youth, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said here on Sunday. He was speaking at a meeting of experts from various sectors and representatives of student and youth organisations to chalk out an action plan against rising instances of drug abuse and violence in the state.
Pinarayi said a web portal will be set up through which the public can confidentially inform authorities about sale and use of drugs and other banned substances. He said the government was taking stern action to prevent drug abuse and rising incidence of violence. However, the fight against them needs the active support of society, he underscored.
