Drug dealers are invading tuition classes to induce innocent students to take to drugs, Central Provincial Council Deputy Chairman W.M. Yasamana said.

"Parents have lodged complaints in this regard. It is a threat to our younger generation. We should take prompt action to combat this situation," he said at the District Co-ordination Committee meeting at the Matale District Secretariat.

He said tuition classes are functioning in every town in the district. "No attention is paid to their management. As a result, anti-social activities are creeping into these tuition classes. Drug dealers are exploiting this to lure innocent youths. All tuition classes must be checked by the authorities regularly. A proper method should also be implemented in respect of tuition classes. Otherwise, our future generation will go astray," the Deputy Chairman said.
