Addiction is a special kind of HELL.

It takes the skill of the addict and

breaks the hearts of everyone who loves them.

GOOD MORNING TO ONE and all gathered here ,

Today, 26th JUNE is observed as International day against

drug & Illicit Trafficking all over the world. The main agenda of this day is
to raise a sense of responsibility into the masses, to encourage them to
raise awareness about substance abuse and its illicit trafficking & brings
sense of understanding about this menace to the people who suffer due
to this problem. The aim to observe this day is to increase support for
the prevention of the production of the drugs & its uses & is thus a
decisive investment for the well-being of students & youth, their relatives
& their communities.

It emphasizes and puts on spotlight the significant effect of the clash

between the healthy and dismantled environment. This day is dedicated
towards the betterment of the lives of the people who are suffering from
drug abuse and other addictions. The day acts as a reminder to the
masses that these people must become participants in various
rehabilitation programmes.

The THEME for this year is ‘ HEALTH For JUSTICE , JUSTICE For
HEALTH ‘ as justice & health are two sides of the same coin to
addressing drug problems.

The International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is an

International Day propounded by United Nations in order to fight against
the substance abuse as well as the unlawful trade of drugs. It is annually
observed on 26th June all across the globe by millions of people.

It is against drug abuse and illicit trafficking, it is an expression of

determining and strengthening action and boosting the cooperation
worldwide to achieve the goal of an international society which is free of
substance abuse. On this day, various organizations are committed to
eradicate this menace and emphasize on peacefully addressing the
challenges of illegal drugs. Their basic principle is protecting the youth
and promoting welfare of humankind.

Drug abuse or drug addiction is a psychiatric, social and psychological

problem that not only affects the youth of the entire world but affects a
large area of people of different age. It ruins the individuals and the
society in manifolds- socially, physically, culturally, emotionally and
economically.

Drug trafficking is an international illegal trade that involves the

production, cultivation, dissemination and sale of substance which
prohibited according to the basic laws. The United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is effectively monitoring and researching
illegal international drug markets in order to attain a more
comprehensive study of this menace.

It is the need of the hour to create awareness that the intake of

drugs take away the lives of the people and ruins the path of progress. It
has the power to destroy an entire generation.

I would like to conclude by saying that, we the future of

tomorrow and the harbingers of progress should abstain ourselves from
the intake of drugs & its propagation. We should strictly say NO to drugs
& save our lives as well as the lives of our loved ones by spreading this
awareness in our society.
