Amid the debate over drug problem in Punjab, NDTV did a reality check and found that getting high on drugs of various kinds was not a challenge in Amritsar, even on the premises of the city's largest government hospital. At 8 in the morning, a huge crowd had gathered at Guru Nanak Dev hospital's ORT de-addiction clinic in the heart of Amritsar. Soon after the hospital gates were opened, the crowd rushed in to get their dose of buprenorphine - a milder opiate based medicine which is used to wean away heroin addicts.
