Ayali Criticises Successive Governments for Inaction on Drug Menace

Ayali, a member of the legislative assembly, publicly flagged the inability of successive state and central governments to stem the rise of drug abuse across the country. In a statement reported by The Times of India, the lawmaker said that despite repeated policy announcements, the drug menace continues to expand, affecting youth and vulnerable communities.

The criticism comes amid growing concerns from health officials and civil society groups that existing enforcement and rehabilitation measures are insufficient. Ayali called for a coordinated strategy that combines stricter law enforcement, expanded treatment facilities, and preventive education.

The appeal underscores a broader political debate on how India should address narcotics trafficking and consumption, with opposition parties urging the government to prioritize the issue in upcoming legislative sessions.
