In the pressure cooker IIT Kanpur college campus, an alarming number of students have taken to drugs.

An internal inquiry of the college administration revealed that a few hundred students were taking drugs and prohibited medicines and have asked the district authorities to take action against drug peddlers.

The Director of the institute, Prof. Manindra바카라 웹사이트Agarwal, has written a letter to District Magistrate Surendra Singh바카라 웹사이트about the바카라 웹사이트increasing problem of바카라 웹사이트drug바카라 웹사이트use바카라 웹사이트on the campus, reported바카라 웹사이트.

Prof. Agarwal told the newspaper: "We have sought help from the district magistrate following바카라 웹사이트rise바카라 웹사이트in바카라 웹사이트number바카라 웹사이트of students getting addicted to drugs. Drugs are being supplied to them on the campus. We have come to know that students buy drugs from peddlers outside the campus바카라 웹사이트therefore바카라 웹사이트we have requested the DM to start a crackdown on the peddlers."

The Director said that he was not aware of them and that easy access of outsiders into the campus is worrisome. He added that바카라 웹사이트locals of Nankari and Barasirhoi villages will be바카라 웹사이트provided바카라 웹사이트a바카라 웹사이트separate passage to reach their destinations instead of passing through the main entrance of the institute.바카라 웹사이트

According to a report by바카라 웹사이트,바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트local sources and villagers of nearby areas supply drugs inside the campus and even the drug mafia with the help of locals have managed to make inroads to바카라 웹사이트hostel.

"There is a locality called Nankari. The approaching road to it passes through our campus and it is always open. It is possible that peddlers are using this route and we are preparing to close this route and arrange for another passage for the residents. We do not want outsiders to access hostels and therefore have decided to provide a separate passage to the locals of Nankari and Barasirhoi villages to reach their destinations instead of passing through the main entrance of the institute," Agarwal said,바카라 웹사이트.바카라 웹사이트

The바카라 웹사이트District Magistrate said teams will be set up to nab the drug smugglers in the area.

Not only in IIT-K, but the drug menace is prevalent across many educational institutions in the country.

Earlier in April, three persons were arrested for allegedly supplying heroin to college students in different districts of Punjab.
