The DC further instructed the Rural Development Department to organise special programmes on Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan in every gram panchayat of their respective blocks focusing on anti-drug awareness and community mobilisation.
The DC said that the campaign against drugs requires active participation of all stakeholders including government departments, civil society organisations, teachers, parents, youth, and religious leaders.
The DC called for collective commitment of all departments to continue coordinated and sustained efforts under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan to achieve the goal of a drug-free Budgam.
On the occasion, SSP Budgam stressed enhanced inter-departmental coordination, and sustained counselling and rehabilitation measures for victims of drug addiction.
