The police, education and excise officials have decided to conduct a counselling session for the students of a government-aided school in Tadepalli, who were found to be addicted to whitener, an intoxicant.
The issue came into light when two students were found to have consumed whitener recently and the staff lodged a police complaint. Guntur Urban Superintendent of Police R.N. Ammireddy said that the police personnel visited the school and confirmed that more than 30 students were using whitener regularly.More Related News
