It was very much realised that addiction to substance abuse and alcohol is a psychological disorder of temporary and permanent nature. This disorder causes tremendous amount of harm in the brain which are irreversible. Alcohol, Ganja and Opiums are very dangerous materials in that way.
People consider alcohol as a symbol of status. But it has been found that under the influence of alcohol people go depressed and commit several crimes and finally suicide. Addiction of all these are growing rapidly among youngsters and teenagers too. Under a special action plan it is decided to educate, counsel and create awareness as preventive measures in plant and mines area of both the companies and local communities. It is resolved by the participants that addicted people are suffering from psychological problems.
Therefore they should be treated as patients not as criminals. Accordingly people in different Departments and organisations should be educated and necessary behavioural changes must be initiated under proper pans of activities. As another step studies will be conducted to understand the extent of use of such materials in both plant and villages of JSPL and JPL and finally design a common action plan for the purpose.
