is it easy for the Asian countries to combat drug issue totally or fully?

or is it easy for the other parts of the globe to combat the issue fully? 

I think if you, the world want and expect to solve the issue totally, the world must form an ally or a coalition to combat the issue. That is the first thing the world must do. No local country can solve such issues alone, that is the truth , without help of the leaders and relevant public and private bodies of the world. 

Reasons, those things do not fall from sky as you all very well know. There is a particular or a certain way that how those things come to this part of the world. who really manufacture them, you need to find out, if you really do not aware of such groups. 

i am certain that we do not manufacture illegal drugs; heroine, cocaine etc.  locally. Then who sends those things to this part of the world or who supply them? if anyone sending any goods through any legal paths, the sender must name a receiver. why cannot you capture them through the receiver's names. i can guess that they do not use the real names. 

unless you find out such areas individuals manufacture internatinally, no country will be able to solve the issue. no world organization can be solved related health hazards permanently or  in a more sustainable manner.

unlike in the past, the PD of Sri Lanka captured many individuals either with drugs or when selling or transporting drugs from place to place, recently, i heard through news. 

The Dubai authority has arrested some individuals and imprisoned them in their city, under their custody. 

According to the relevant local authorities they have captured and arrested them as a result of long months of investigations carried out by PD of Sri Lanka and efforts taken. Anyhow what i believe is that you are not really punishing them but you  are helping them instead when you imprison a person who involved in such activities. Then they at least get a slight chance to stay away from such activities, solve health hazards i guess because of the clinical consultation, rehabilitation programes implemented or established to help such individuals.  

as i explained earlier the world should sit together to solve this issue. Apart from them every government of every part of the world should not keep any space or reasons, chance for the youngsters to  either use them or purchase them. every government should delete such environment which encourage them to take drugs or most importantly to sell them inland or outland or anywhere of the world.

According to what the world has understood, it is a very good way to earn big money or easy money. there is a more tendency that those who are with job related issues involve in such activities than a person with a good income that helps them to cater their day to day needs, requirements. 

And i strongly believe that unemployment encourage youngsters to earn money through illegal methods.  without really abolishing or aborting such environments  no person will be able to stay away from dangerous drugs. 

Those who thinking of earning a comfort life like a very , very few others, or think of earning an extra sources of income to cater their big dreams such as big dowry for daughters, luxury vehicles. an overseas education opportunity for their children etc. may fall into the groups who sell them in small quantities or in big quantities. 

In this society where resources and opportunities are not divisioned , distributed fairly the drug related issues cannot be solved easily. in this world where you find more selfish creatures think of owning every chance and opportunity help and encourage youngsters to not only use drugs but also to sell them. you must first arrest those basters who normalize , traditionalize such cultures in the society. 

The individuals with socio-economic issues are the target groups i guess of the suppliers. those who suffer from various psycho social issues are the other groups i can think of. young ones from broken families, low level of education, cornered children or youngsters i guess are the other ones who become target of sellers.

So it is every government's responsibility to not to give any citizen a chance to enjoy any socio financial related burdens matters. justify, minimize cost of living,  solve related matters and issues. That is the other way to solve such issues in any society, preaches and speeches alone won't help or sufficient at all.

thank you for reading.

The story of stolen freedom.


This story is for the kids across globe.

WE LIVED IN A LITTLE HOUSE ON A VALLEY. THERE WAS DENSE OF WOOD CLOSE TO THE VALLEY AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE A RANGE OF MOUNTAINS. I ENJOYED CLIMBING THE MOUNTAINS AND VIEWING THE VALLEY FROM THE WOODS, SITTING ON TOP OF A TREE. IF ANY STRANGER ENTERING INTO THE VALLEY I WAS THE FIRST TO KNOW.

WE LEAD A HAPPY LIFE. WE RECEIVED RAIN AND SUN, ADEQUATELY IN EVERY SEASON. OUR STORES WERE ALWAYS FULL OF GRAINS. WE HAD ENOUGH WATER TO CULTIVATE AND WE EVEN SOLD THE EXCESS GRAINS TO THE OUTSIDERS WHO OFTEN VISITED OUR VALLEY.

MY FATHER USED TO WORK AT A FARM IN A VILLAGE NEXT TO THE VALLEY, OWNED BY A LANDLORD, WHEN THERE WAS NO CULTIVATION TO LOOK AFTER. UNFORTUNATELY THE LANDLORD WAS UNKIND TO HIS WORKERS. NO WORKER WAS HAPPY WORKING THERE, INCLUDING MY FATHER.

ONE DAY HE MET A KIND ENTREPRENEUR WHO VISITED THE FARM FOR A BUSINESS MATTER AND WAS FROM SPAIN. MY FATHER WAS OFFERED A JOB AS A FARM-KEEPER. HIS JOB WAS TO LOOK AFTER PONIES. THE KIND ENTREPRENEUR OWNED A HUGE YARD OF PONIES AND HORSES.

MY FATHER TOLD ME THAT EVERY PONY HAS HAD A NAME; SUPER WIND, STRONG EARTH, MASSIVE RAIN, SPEED HUNTER INCLUDING VERY ACTIVE FREEDOM. THERE WERE MANY OTHERS AS WELL, I CAN’T RECALL THEIR NAMES RIGHT NOW.

I LIKE ITS LONG SWINGING TAIL.  IT DIDN’T LIKE TO LIVE A CAGED LIFE. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A FENCE AROUND OUR LAND, IT LIVED FREELY BECAUSE WE DIDN’T TIE IT OR LOCKED IT INSIDE ANY ROOMS OR HALLS.

I HAVE SEEN HORSES AND PONIES WHO USED TO GO ACROSS OUR VALLEY WITH THEIR MASTERS. EVER SINCE I WANTED TO OWN A PONY.

ON ONE FRESH MORNING OF SUMMER, MY FATHER RETURNED HOME., ONE WEEK PRIOR TO HIS OFFICIAL VACATION.

“GUESS WHO CAME WITH OUR FATHER?”
“IT WAS FREEDOM WHO CAME WITH HIM”.

FREEDOM WAS THE BEST EVER GIFT I EVER RECEIVED FROM MY FATHER.
HE KNEW HOW TO DEAL WITH PONIES. HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THE FREEDOM. I HAD A COMPANION SINCE THEN. A GOOD TRUSTWORTHY ONE. SINCE FREEDOM CAME INTO THE VALLEY TO OUR FAMILY I DIDN’T HAVE TO BOTHER ABOUT NOT HAVING MANY FRIENDS AROUND OR NEAR ME, NEAR THE VALLEY WE LIVED. WE TOGETHER WALKED, RAN ACROSS THE VALLEY, IN THE WOOD, CLIMBED THE MOUNTAINS SO HAPPILY.

AS YOU ALL VERY WELL KNOW, THE PONIES CAN'T TALK. BUT THERE WAS A PARTICULAR WAY THAT I USED TO COMMUNICATE WITH IT.

WHENEVER I SAY SOMETHING, IF IT AGREES TO IT, IT USED TO SHAKE HIS HEAD FRONTWARD. IF IT DISAGREE IT SHAKES HIS HEAD LEFT AND RIGHT. IF IT CONFUSED WITH THE QUESTIONS I ASK OR THINGS I SAY, IT USED TO STAY QUITE.

ABOUT A WEEK LATER, MY FATHER WENT BACK TO SPAIN TO ACCOMPLISH HIS DUTIES.  

ON A PARTICULAR SUNDAY MY BROTHERS, SISTER AND MY MOTHER WENT TO THE CHURCH EXCEPT ME. I WAS NOT WELL, SO I HAD TO STAY AT HOME.
ABOUT A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER THAT THEY LEFT THE HOUSE, I HEARD A BIG VEHICLE FULL OF MEN WITH WEAPONS ENTERING OUR LAND.

“COLLECT EVERY SINGLE GRAIN THEY HAVE”

A PERSON WITH A BIG BEARD ORDERED THE OTHER MEN IN A TUFT UNKIND VOICE.

“OY LAD COME HERE, BRING EVERY GRAIN, BREAD YOU HAVE.”
“I CAN’T GIVE YOU ANYTHING. THERE IS ONLY A FEW GRAINS LEFT UNTIL MY FATHER RETURNS FROM WORK.”

HE DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO LISTEN TO WHAT I WAS TELLING. HE EVEN DRAGGED ME FROM WHERE I WAS STANDING. I SCREAMED FOR HELP BUT THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE VALLEY BECAUSE ALL WERE AT THE CHURCH.

THEY TOOK EVERYTHING WE HAD. MY COIN BOX, A VALUABLE BOOK NAMED ‘LIBERTYFULL ISLAND’, AND MY FREEDOM.

I KNOW HOW TO RECOGNIZE IT, FREEDOM. AND I KNOW WHO TOOK IT AWAY FROM OUR FAMILY, OUR VALLEY, AND FROM OUR LAND.

MY OBJECTIVE OF LIFE NOW IS TO SOMEHOW FIND FREEDOM. TO FIND IT I NEED TO TRAVEL IN SEARCH OF THE PERSON WHO STOLE IT.
I WANT TO BRING IT BACK TO OUR LAND, VALLEY.

To be continued……………..
