Amritsar, 21 May (Punjab Post Bureau)-\u00a0 Aam Aadmi Party\u2019s Dr Daljit Singh stated today that gaining the faith of 82,000 voters in just 30 days was a big achievement for AAP. \u201cI have won the voters and I am a winner in my own eyes\u201d said the globally renowned eye surgeon who stood for just concluded Lok Sabha elections as an AAP candidate. Having organized a project on awareness about drug addiction at Gumtala village to wean away youth from the clutches of drugs, Dr Daljit Singh said the Amritsar unit of AAP with an NGO would float projects for the city from time to time. The camp at Gumtala village inaugurated by AAP\u2019s organizer Dr Indu Singh, saw the presence of more than 50 families whose were affected by drug addiction of one or more family members. Three former drug addicts who had come out of the morass of drug addiction with help from Dr JPS Bhatia\u2019s Hermitage de-addiction center shared their stories with the families and assured them as doctors that it was possible to leave an addiction. Along with this the villagers were shown the present drug scenario through multi-media slides and made aware of many diseases that come with drug addiction and were highly infections like HIV \u2013AIDS, Hep B etc . Dr Indu Singh and Dr Ravijit Singh of Dr Daljit Singh\u2019s family said \u2013\u201cFirst seven to 10 days of treatment are the most crucial and painful experience for a drug addict, when along with one family member another experienced person has to be present 24 hours with the patient. For this, AAP volunteers have come forward to take in the 24×7 duty to help fellow citizens to give up addictions.\u201d \u201cAs many as 70 % of the youth in Punjab, especially in border areas, is under the grip of drug addiction and is wasting away. The future of such families having drug addicts is bleak. The names of politicians involved in multi-million dollar drug rackets only goes to show how easy money from drugs have run political empires in Punjab,\u201d said Dr Daljit Singh. The AAP unit with an NGO would bear the costs and also help in rehabilitation of former addicts. AAP intends to take up these camps from village to village using real life former addicts who have managed to come out of drugs as motivators along with counselors for technical help.<\/p>\n
