Unifying Punjab Against Drugs: A Community Movement for Change

At a seminar in Gurdaspur's Batala, Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria emphasized the shared responsibility of combatting drug addiction among the youth. His call to action is urging the community to amplify anti-drug efforts.

Kataria highlighted the damage inflicted by drugs, urging collective action to transform awareness campaigns into a mass movement. The state's ongoing anti-drug campaign, 'Yudh Nashian Virudh', has achieved notable success, but Kataria underscored the need for even greater public involvement.

He specifically called upon educational institutions to play a pivotal role in this societal battle, encouraging their active participation by engaging students in anti-drug activities. Witnesses took an anti-drug oath, and students were recognized for their achievements in various fields.
