A survey has revealed that snooker clubs especially located in Sectors G-10 and G-12 have become safe havens for drugs addicts and students who flee from schools and come to these clubs to while away time and money. Details further reveal that students of even reputed educational institutions leave their homes for schools but instead end up at these snooker clubs. Once the parents carried out search operations to find out the whereabouts of their children, they were led to these snooker clubs. According to parents this is due to the fact that majority of the customers at the snooker club are illiterate and wayward.
