In shadow of losses amid Ganganagar drug crisis, villagers flag poll players’ apathy, decry lip service
Ajami Devi, a 58-year-old resident of Kaliyan village near Sri Ganganagar city, has tears in her eyes when she speaks about her 19-year-old nephew, a drug addict who died due to drug overdose. This is a familiar story in hundreds of villages in Sri Ganganagar and Hanumangarh districts where the rising drug menace has proved disastrous for a legion of such youths and their farmer families.
