Joining prominent public figures — actors, singers and sportspersons — Mahamandaleshwar Swami Kapil Puri, the Deputy Acharya of Juna Akhada and Peethadheeshwar of Gaukarna Peeth, has taken part in the state Narcotics Control Bureau’s popular initiative against drug abuse by accepting the popular #NashaMukt Nayaab Jeevan Bucket Challenge.

Swami Kapil Puri expressed his happiness over being part of the campaign, and lauded the efforts of Haryana Police in educating the youth about the perils of drug abuse.

He emphasised his commitment to spreading awareness, particularly targeting the younger generation, about the devastating effects of addiction.

“The Bucket Challenge involves participants pouring over themselves a bucket of muddy water, which symbolises the harmful consequences of drug addiction. By then discarding the dirty water, participants demonstrate their resolve to eliminate addiction from their lives and embrace a healthier future,” he said.

Swami Kapil Puri commended the NCB for initiating the unique de-addiction campaign. He noted that notable public figures — Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao, Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra, and boxing champion Vijender Singh — had also taken part in the challenge, setting an example for others to follow in the fight against addiction.

Swami Kapil Puri talked about the destructive impact of addiction on the mind of the user, and appealed to citizens to avoid drugs and help others break free from addiction. His message was clear: “a drug-free present leads to a healthier, more fulfilling future.”
