Delhi Cops urge chemists, docs to expand anti-drug drive

The Delhi Police’s week-long anti-drug campaign, “Nasha — Not Cool”, is widening its footprint across the capital, with Day 5 focusing on mobilising chemist shops and the medical community to strengthen public awareness against substance abuse.

Pharmacists and medical store staff across markets and hospital clusters joined the drive by wearing armbands carrying anti-drug messages, while banners were displayed prominently to increase visibility.

Police teams from various districts visited these outlets, interacted with customers, and distributed awareness material to encourage community participation. The initiative has also drawn strong backing from the medical fraternity. Experts including Dr. Yatan Pal Singh Balhara, Professor of Psychiatry at the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre, AIIMS; Dr. Anusha Garg, Senior Resident at Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences; Dr. Anshuman Kaushal; Dr. Rohit Gupta; and Dr. Vartika Vishwani are contributing to the campaign through awareness messages on Delhi Police social media platforms.
