Indri/Karnal, September 16:- An unusual and inspiring effort by Dera Sacha Sauda has come to light in the direction of eradicating the menace of drugs from society and rehabilitating those involved in selling drugs by bringing them back into the mainstream. A remarkable transformation has been witnessed in Dhanaura Jagir village of Indri, which has become a topic of discussion and curiosity across the area. Rajkumar, who had been involved in the illegal sale of drugs in the village for a long time, has not only given up the drug trade but has also begun a respectable life with the support of Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers. The volunteers got Rajkumar’s shop selling intoxicating substances closed and opened a grocery store there with goods worth lakhs of rupees. Moreover, the store was inaugurated on Wednesday, and immediately after the inauguration, all the goods in the shop were sold. People who reached the spot purchased the goods within minutes and emptied the store.
Rajkumar of Dhanaura Jagir village said that he had been supporting his family by selling intoxicating substances. However, influenced by the drug de-addiction campaigns and teachings of Dera Sacha Sauda’s revered Guru Sant Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, he decided to give up this social evil. Expressing his anguish and remorse before the volunteers, Rajkumar said that selling drugs was very wrong and he wanted to leave it forever, but his family’s livelihood depended on this trade. He questioned how he would feed his children if he stopped it.
Understanding Rajkumar’s genuine feeling of repentance, the volunteers immediately got the drug-selling shop closed and, as part of his rehabilitation, opened a good grocery store for him in the village itself, so that he could support his family through honest and hard-earned income. Rajkumar said that he would never look back towards the wrong path. His wife, Salindro, said with tears of happiness that they were grateful to Dera Sacha Sauda for getting the work she described as hellish stopped and helping them open a grocery store.
Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers Sandeep and Kapil said that Dera Sacha Sauda is working to provide employment to every person who comes out of the trap of drug addiction. As part of this initiative, Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers spent lakhs of rupees to open Rajkumar’s grocery store so that his family could earn its livelihood through honest income.
Village Sarpanch representative Jagir Singh said that the effort of Dera Sacha Sauda was commendable, as it inspired Rajkumar to stop the drug trade and provided him with a grocery store in the village. All the goods in Rajkumar’s shop were sold on the very first day and he earned thousands of rupees. He advised all such people involved in selling drugs to stop such activities and follow the right path. Sandeep Annu, Kapil, Sukhwinder Insan, Vipin Insan, Pradeep Insan, Mahendra Insan, Karmbir Insan, Deepak Insan, Roshan Insan, Prem Insan and others were present on the occasion.
