Nobody had the courage to enter the area due to the prevalence of tribal terrorism activities (in Bengali these terrorists are called Shantibahinee). Nobody couldn´t think of going there let alone living there. Mr. Haider Ali Talukder was first man who visited this area and created a modern village and named it Palashpur. There are few numbers of beautiful small hills in Palashpur. A small canal flows behind Palashpur Primary School. There is also a small lake in the area.

World Health Organization (WHO) defines Drug: Drug is a chemical substance of synthetic, semi synthetic or natural origin intended for diagnostic, therapeutic or palliative use or for modifying physiological functions of man and animal. Drug impacts directly influence the economic and social aspects of a country and physically to a human body. In Bangladesh it is a growing national concern. There are millions of drug-addicted people in Bangladesh and most of them are young and in the age range of 18 to 30. These drug addicted people are from all strata of the society. It shows that the country is going to be transformed into potential users of drugs with the rapid increase in the number of addicts. Drug addiction has grabbed not only the youth but it has grabbed the social leaders also. In the present situation, we need to strengthen family and social values and religious ethics in order to maintain a stable and drug-free society. We believe that there is a lot to do to stop this social malaise now before another dangerous symptom appears which AIDS is. After doing all these we can get our drug-free Bangladesh.
