To encourage fitness and create awareness, the police organised an anti-drug cycle rally with a message “Say no to drugs”. People from different age groups took part in the rally.

The rally was flagged off by the Patiala Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Sandeep Kumar Garg. He also took a round on the bicycle to encourage participants to stay fit.

The rally started from the Police Lines and went towards Baradari, Sherawala Gate, Fountain Chowk, YPS roundabout, turned towards Thapar University and then back to the Police Lines.

SP (H) Dr Simar, SP Palwinder Cheema, DSPs Gurdev Dhaliwal and Saurabh Jindal and other officials also took part in the rally.

The SSP said the main purpose of the rally was to create awareness on drug abuse so that the city could be drug free.
