Garhshankar, located in Hoshiarpur District, Punjab, is a largely agrarian economy, full of hardworking individuals and rich in traditions. However, like most towns in Punjab, Garhshankar now faces a growing drug addiction problem. In addition to alcohol, narcotic painkillers, prescription medications (like codeine cough syrup), and synthetic drugs have blended into the abusive environments and quietly devastated families and towns in Garhshankar.
