According to police during this patrolling in sensitive area where these young drinkers could we nabbed, they caught couple of youth with alcohol in their possession. While the patrol police caught one youth who was carrying a baby feeding bottle containing cider with him. It was also known that during this past weekend alone, police have caught two more youths under-aged who were conveyed home after they were under the influence of alcohol. As in recent past it was learnt that many such untoward accident occurred where youths who were driving under influence of liquor claimed lives of many innocent people on roads.

Even the parents were unaware of the fact that their wards are risking their lives and also of others, with this alcohol mania. It has to be thought from the side of the parents that what their children are doing. Parents should keep an eye on their children and try to protect them from all these unhealthy things.
