<i>Drug addiction</i>

Nasir, Dhaka

Recently, some nice looking young men were apprehended along with a huge amount of Yaba tablets. The law enforcers have discovered that many affluent people are involved with this illicit but lucrative trade. But drug trade is not new in our country. From my point of view, the core factor that has a direct bearing on the increase of drug addiction in society is lack of entertainment. There are very few opportunities for our adolescents and juveniles to have fun with their family and friends. Very few schools have their own playground. No private university has any playground. So the problem is built-in, more or less.
