That politician from the National Mandate Party (PAN) appraised National Narcotics Agency (BNN), which became the backbone of the eradication of drugs couldn't work alone. The agency must have supports from the ministries and other institutions, including community leaders. Teachers, lecturers, head of the company, even the guards-guards in many areas in this country must be involved.

"They are the direct contact with the public. At least, they can be invited to come together to socialize about the dangers of drugs," he explained.

So far, BNN and the police have been doing a lot of things. But, in reality the drugs capuldn't be eradicated completely.
