Chandigarh, June 26

A mass pledge against drugs was taken by people at 500 places in the state.

The ‘Say no to drugs’ pledge was initiated under the aegis of Joshi Foundation and supported by BJP leaders, including national BJP vice-president Avinash Rai Khanna, Union Minister Vijay Sampla, Khadi Board chairman Harjit Singh Grewal and assistant media adviser to the state government Vineet Joshi.

The campaign leaders reached out to people at distant places in many villages and subdivisions to ensure that the message against drugs is comprehensively delivered, said Joshi, adding that it was one of the “largest efforts” against drugs in Punjab.
