A tragic incident in Kapurthala district, Punjab, has drawn attention to the severe drug addiction crisis in the region after a mother lost her fifth son to substance abuse. The critically ill son died at Government Medical College in Amritsar, where he was admitted with serious health issues related to drug use. The mother expressed her grief, stating that all her sons had fallen victim to addiction, but local authorities, including the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and police, denied her claims, attributing the deaths to various causes over the years. This incident has ignited anger among local women, many of whom have also lost children to drugs, and they allege that drugs, particularly 'chitta' (a form of methamphetamine), are still being sold openly in their neighborhoods. Residents are calling for urgent action to combat the drug trade that has devastated families in the area.
