"Drug abuse is part of the larger design of narco-terrorism initiated by the neighboring country who cannot subdue us with military might and therefore is trying to pump in drugs to destroy the generations," Dr Rohit Sharma, Director (Delhi Zone), Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), said.
He was speaking on the occasion of International Youth Day celebrations at Amity University here.
The Delhi Zone unit of NCB organised an awareness programme against drugs abuse for students at the university wherein Dr Sharma highlighted the medical, psychological and social impact of consuming drugs.

Dr Sharma was felicitated by Prof Nilendra Kumar, Director, Amity Law School, Noida.
