Hoshiarpur- As part of the war on drugs campaign being run by the Punjab government, today ADGP (Human Rights) Dr. Naresh Kumar Arora addressed a large gathering of people during a grand event organized at a private palace in Mahilpur.
On this occasion, he expressed concern over the increasing prevalence of drugs and said that it is eroding the roots of society and youth. Dr. Arora inspired people to take a lifelong pledge to stay away from drugs and play their role in making their families, villages and cities drug-free.
He made it clear that drug abuse is not just a personal issue, but a social disease, which requires the role of every citizen to fight. He appealed to the people that if they have information about any smuggler or drug peddler, they should immediately inform the police.
