    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At least, we have some data, whether redundant or not. At least, we have got a starting point. The Chairman could listen to Members so that he transmits this information to the relevant authorities. The issue of drug trafficking is becoming a dangerous menace in this country. For us who represent border constituencies, we are reeling from the effects of peddling of hard drugs like bhang and other forms of narcotics. It is now starting to affect our children and, surprisingly, even the girls are now resorting to smoking bhang, which is starting to worry every member of the society. I remember when the Deputy Inspector-General came to my constituency about two weeks ago, he talked about this matter. Still, most of that drug trafficking is normally done by the support and convenience of the security officers. However, one of the issues that the Committee needs to deal with is how to sensitise security officers on the dangers of supporting drug trafficking. With those few remarks, I wish that the Chairman, when we return next year, will come up with a more updated and comprehensive report or a template we can use to talk about drug trafficking in our various constituencies. Thank you."
