Schools & Colleges Under ‘Drug Siege’: Supreme Court Flags Growing Campus Drug Network

The Supreme Court expressed serious concern over the growing drug menace in schools and colleges, observing that educational institutions are increasingly coming under a “drug siege.”

The Court warned that narcotics peddlers are actively targeting campuses and, in several instances, using students themselves as drug sellers to expand illegal networks.

Stressing the alarming impact of substance abuse on young minds and public health, the Court underscored the need for immediate and coordinated preventive measures by authorities.

It highlighted the importance of safeguarding educational spaces from criminal exploitation and ensuring stricter enforcement mechanisms to curb the spread of drugs among students.
