TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Wednesday, regretted that the budding doctors are getting addicted to drugs and are turning into patients to get themselves admitted to hospitals with unusual behaviour.
The recent raids on the medical colleges in Ongole and Kurnool indicate that the medical colleges are turning into centres for drug trafficking, Nara Lokesh said in a statement here.
After observing the violent behaviour of some medicos who got badly addicted to drugs, one cannot imagine the situation in the State, Lokesh remarked. Maintaining that during his Yuva Galam pada yatra he has personally witnessed some scenes in which some school students are addicted to ganja, Lokesh said that fearing that the future of the youth is at stake he has written to the Prime Minister seeking steps to control the rampant drug abuse and availability of ganja in the State. He expressed serious concern that the abuse of ganja is on the rise in the State.
The situation is so alarming that the medicos who are supposed to educate others not to use drugs are getting addicted to them, Nara Lokesh said and regretted that the ruling party leaders are not worried about the distressing situation in the State.
Medicos getting addicted to drugs is painful, says Lokesh
