Drug abuse is a major threat to society. Currently, drug abuse is becoming more and more complex in terms of crime, drug addiction, and the emergence of new types of drugs.

In particular, the number of drug addicts in the area tends to increase with the total number of drug addicts with controlled records in the district from the beginning of 2022 to now being 330 people.
