The drug problem in public service

There have been a lot of allegations lately about drug usage among public servants. Prothom Alo reports that the government plans to give candidates drug test before recruiting them. The home minister has already issued a notice to investigate drug allegations against existing public servants. I commend the government for taking this issue seriously.
Those who, despite being public servants, regularly break the rules should be discharged immediately. The government should adopt a zero-tolerance policy in this respect. Otherwise, the consequences will be far-reaching for our society.
