[QUOTE="PrabhSingh, post: 175231, member: 18896"] The BSF is responsible for securing the border. Why aren't they doing their job? The BSF is a Government of India entity. Why isn't the central government doing anything about this? Instead they blame the state government. This is all politics. I am getting sick and tired of GOI using the playbook of the British. The British did the same thing which led to the Opium Wars with China. The Badal government is trying hard to address the issue. Sadly they don't have any good ideas. And people just sit and blame them instead of actually giving solutions. 1. We need to first focus our attention on the border. Pressure needs to be put on the BSF and GOI for not securing and controlling the drug smuggling. The director general of the BSF is "MR U K Bansal". According to the BSF website: Sushilkumar Shinde is the Home Minister. He is the one responsible for all the drug influx in Punjab. So what has Punjab CM done? Well here read for yourself: [url]http://www.hindustantimes.com/Punjab/Chandigarh/Badal-blames-Central-agencies-for-drug-menace/SP-Article1-951852.aspx[/url] We have multiple documentaries in which they have actual footage of the dealings taking place yet the BSF and GOI can't get these people?

But how can they solve a problem until it hasn't become a problem right? The Punjab government has been trying to deal with this issue for a long time. They don't have the most effective strategies. But even if they did, you can never solve the problem until the root cause is not eliminated. You can have as many detox clinics as you want but as soon as the drug user comes back into the street and the drug is still there, the drug will find its way to him. 2. What the State government needs to do: The state government needs to order the Punjab Police to prioritize this issue and plan mass crack downs of dealers. If you can find an addict, you can also find his dealer. The problem: Most of these idiots are corrupt and part of it. In one of the documentaries, a top Punjab Police official said that 10% of the Punjab Police itself is addicted to drugs!

The officers that are addicted need to be suspended and replaced. The media is supposed to be making sure they do all this and report the results but instead they act as pawns of the different political parties. 3. Punjab also needs to appeal to the international community, specifically the UN. The opium is grown in Afghanistan legally! Afghanistan's main export is opium. This is the only income source of the farmers as other crops don't pay them enough to support their families (thus why they make it legal). Afghanistan is the producer of 90% of the world's opium.
