Educational institutes fail to inform cops about substance abuse: TGNAB chief

New Indian Express  

HYDERABAD: Telangana Anti Narcotics Bureau Director Sandeep Shandilya on Monday urged anti-drug committees in educational institutions to alert the police in case of suspicion of substance abuse among students. “Educational institutions have security guards and CCTV footage that can easily alert them about instances of narcotic abuse within a 200-meter radius of the institution. “Following the meeting, we have asked ADCs to employ retired police officers in case they are not able to collect information.” When students are caught consuming drugs, the police will neither reveal their identity nor vilify them, Shandilya emphasised. Given that action will only be taken against the suppliers, the TGNAB director wondered why a school should be bothered about a paan shop owner near the school who is selling ganja chocolates to children.
