Drug trade in Kanpur's Kazikheda, locals label it 'Ganja Gali'

The Kazikheda and Kalibari areas, located within the jurisdiction of the Chakeri police station in Kanpur, are increasingly becoming hubs for drug traffickers. According to a report by Amar Ujala, local residents have started referring to the area as 'Ganja Gali' (Cannabis Alley) instead of its original name, Kazikheda.

The illegal trade of substances such as ganja, charas, and smack is reportedly flourishing in this locality. The report highlights that the area is frequented by drug users throughout the day, making life difficult for the local population.

Residents state that the activities of drug peddlers are deteriorating the environment of the region. Even during daylight hours, crowds of drug users can be seen in the alley, which has become a matter of concern regarding public safety.

According to the Amar Ujala report, ordinary citizens are facing significant hardships due to this issue. The presence of drug users makes it feel unsafe for women and children to step out of their homes.

No concrete steps have been taken at the administrative level to resolve this problem so far. Local residents are continuously demanding an end to this illegal trade to restore peace and security in the area.

Due to the addiction to these substances, the younger generation is also being led astray. The activities occurring in this alley have negatively impacted the reputation of the entire locality.

There is an urgent need for the police administration to take strict action in this matter to curb the influence of the traffickers. The complaints from local residents serve as a warning to the administration to address the issue promptly.

Given the current situation, it is clear that there is an immediate need for an anti-drug campaign in the Kazikheda and Kalibari areas.
