Ganja addicts are causing trouble in some areas of Hyderabad, despite the police’s efforts to stop them. The drug users are often seen causing problems and getting into fights with residents who question them. They consume ganja openly in several areas of the city, causing disturbance and fear among locals. Peddlers are finding new ways to sell the illegal drug, which is easily available in the area. Residents are scared that their children may be influenced by weed users and fall prey to the deadly cannabis.
Women are afraid to go out, and open lands are being used for anti-social activities. Social activists are running anti-drug campaigns and calling for action to be taken to stop these illegal activities. Recent incidents include a group of ganja addicts attacking a family traveling in a car in Chanchalguda. Residents demand that the entire area be under police surveillance, and authorities must ensure the safety of the locals from these addicts. Police officers are patrolling the areas, even in inner bylanes, to prevent further nuisance by these unruly addicts.
