Nawanshahr - Today, on 28th March 2024, an awareness camp was organized under the “Drug Free India Abhiyan” at Government Middle Smart School Punnu Majara by Red Cross De-addiction and Rehabilitation Center Nawanshahr. It was chaired by Gurtaranjit Kaur (Head Teacher).
On this occasion Kausler Kamaljit Kaur addressed and said that the youth of Punjab are badly caught in the nexus of drugs, while the history of Punjab is not like this. They are putting the youth on the path of drugs. He said that the youth should be aware of drugs so that they can avoid incurable diseases. Addiction alienates a person from society and family. The mental level of a person addicted to drugs falls to such an extent that he starts committing accidents like suicide while being away from each and every relationship. We should love ourselves so much that we don't need to do drugs
On this occasion Mr. Deepak (Staff Member) while addressing the gathering said that the youth of today are the future of tomorrow. He informed the people about the facilities and activities of the center and said that we should take care of the surroundings and our children to avoid the evils found in the society. Keep the body healthy with a balanced diet which will also keep the mind healthy and if any youth is caught in this drug like disease then he should be encouraged to join Kedar for treatment. He gave detailed information about the treatment of patients at the center.
On this occasion, Mrs. Gurtaranjit Kaur thanked the team from Red Cross.
On this occasion, the Red Cross team included Harpreet Kaur (Staff Nurse), Manjot and teacher Richa, Reema Mehra, Sushil Kumar and school children and villagers.
