Discussion on preventing juvenile crime, gang culture held in Tangail

Bashundhara Shuvosangho’s Tangail district unit on Saturday organised a discussion meeting at Haji Abul Hossain High School to raise awareness among students about preventing juvenile crime and gang culture and encourage them to stay away from drugs and criminal activities.
The meeting focused on the harmful impacts of juvenile gangs, social degradation, drug addiction and ways to guide adolescents towards positive and constructive activities.
Speakers said adolescence is a crucial stage of life and proper guidance and a supportive environment can help young people become responsible citizens.
