The SMO informed villagers against the use of habit-forming drugs which could lead to health issues. “Youth are getting hooked to drugs on the one pretext or the other and it has become a routine matter. It is through cooperation that we can curb this menace. Drug addicts should visit de-addiction center at Sahnewal to leave this deadly habit and start thinking about their family and country at large,” said Dr JP.

“Half of the ailments stay away if a person exercises cleanliness at home and in surroundings. In case of any problem, one should immediately consult a doctor rather than indulging in self-medication,” he said.
