“We all are equally responsible for the youth of any family falling prey to drug addiction”, said the SSP adding that when a youngster in a family starts living alone away from the family, one should immediately take a serious note of it and counsel him and should spend maximum time with the youth to keep them far away from the drugs and crimes.
