Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Home Minister Mama Natung on Thursday emphasized the urgent need to combat drug addiction, calling it one of the most pressing issues affecting unemployed youth in the state.
Speaking at the XIX General Conference of the All Arunachal Pradesh Workers Union (APPWU) at Ziro, in Lower Subansiri district of the state, Natung warned that unless the youth free themselves from substance abuse, they will struggle to benefit from available employment opportunities. Addressing the demands raised by the union, he urged young people to be open to all types of jobs and not shy away from work, an official communiqué informed here.
"One of the main challenges faced by both government and non-government agencies is the poor performance of local employees, especially those in Group D jobs," Natung said.
He pointed out that while many youths willingly take up sweeper jobs in government offices, their lack of dedication often disrupts the system and inconveniences the public.
