Sree Sudha, administrative judge of Nizamabad, TGLSA member secretary Panchakshari, district sessions judge Suneetha Kunchala, collector Rajiv Gandhi Hanumanthu, Narcotic Control Bureau Hyderabad zonal director Sachin Gorpade, police commissioner Kalmeshwar Shinganevar and others participated in the event.
Speaking at the meeting, Justice Paul said in olden days no student committed suicide, but now students end their lives due to drugs effect. Information technology had made life wiser and at the same time, few people used it in an adverse way, he said. Sports and regular exercises make people mentally strong, he said.
Justice Sree Sudha said the younger generation lacked the responsibilities and lost mental balance for trivial things. The victims were easily addicted to drugs and spoiled their lives, she said. If any youth is addicted to drugs, it should be informed to their parents, Justice Sree Sudha suggested.
