Telangana CM Seeks Law Amendment for Drug User Bail
The leader of Telangana, a state in India, thinks the laws about letting people out on bail after they are caught using drugs need to be changed.
He believes that when people caught using drugs are treated like they are just victims, it makes them think it's okay to do it again.
He wants to discuss this with lawmakers and has even spoken to the top judge in India about it.
The goal is to make it harder for people to get bail for drug use so they stop using drugs more often.
Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy wants to change laws regarding bail for drug users.
He believes the current law, which treats users as victims, encourages repeat offenses.
Reddy stated his government will discuss the issue in the upcoming Assembly session.
He has also raised this matter with the Chief Justice of India.
The objective is to deter repeated substance abuse among drug users.
