Sirsa/Fatehabad, March 15

The Sirsa and Fatehabad SPs today launched two social policing programmes in their respective districts.

While Sirsa SP Ashwin Shenvi launched a “Nasha Mukti Abhiyan” to free people from drug addiction, Fatehabad SP Sangeeta Kalia initiated a programme— “Sashakt Mahila, Sashakt Samaj”.

Launching the “Nasha Mukti Abhiyan” at Kalanwali, Shenvi said the police would attract youths towards sporting activities through “Yuva Clubs” set up in villages to wean them away from the menace of drugs.

He released helpline number 88140-56100 where anybody could provide information regarding trafficking and misuse of drugs. He also called a meeting of all medical stores of Kalanwali and warned them that stern action would be taken against those found selling intoxicants.

He visited the Sahara Club’s rehabilitation centre and the government-run drug de-addiction centre and urged drug addicts to shun drugs.

Sharing its borders with Punjab, Kalanwali has earned notoriety for drug trafficking and drug addiction in the past some years.

In Fatehabad, Deputy Commissioner NK Solanki and ADC Rajesh Jogpal joined SP Sangeeta Kalia in launching her “Sashakt Mahila, Sashakt Samaj” programme in the Police Lines in presence of a large number of women and young girls.

Under this programme, the district police will train women and girls in martial arts and self-defence measures in camps to be organised every Saturday and Sunday. Besides, women lawyers would make them aware of their legal rights in these camps and also associate them in checking female foeticide and implementing the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act.
