A good section of students youth organizations are drinkers, Kerala turning hub for drugs, says Minister M V Govindan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister M V Govindan said that a good section of students youth organizations are good drinkers. The minister said they are good drinkers and not small ones. He said the students of high schools, higher secondary, college and professional colleges should be subjected to an awareness against alcoholism without any self-deception. He said that Kerala is becoming a drug hub.

The minister said this while speaking on the occasion of International Anti-Drug Day. The drug reaches the state by sea. Drugs reach the neighbouring states of Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra by sea. He said drugs worth Rs 1,500 crore were seized from a single boat in the state. Minister M V Govindan said that at least the new generation of children should be made aware of all these.
