Cricket match marks drug-free youth, cleanliness campaign

As part of the ongoing Nasha Mukt Yuva and Swachhta Abhiyan (Drug-Free Youth and Cleanliness Campaign), the Chamba district administration organised a series of awareness activities to promote health, fitness and community responsibility. Among these, a friendly cricket match was held at the Police Ground at Varagah involving officers and employees from the office of the Deputy Commissioner.

Additional District Magistrate Amit Mehra was the chief guest on the occasion.

Mehra, while addressing the participants, said, “True progress lies in embracing sports, education and positive thinking instead of addiction. Through this campaign, we aim to spread the message that choosing a drug-free, disciplined and active lifestyle is real victory.”

He urged the youth to stay away from drugs and contribute positively to society through health, sports and good values. Before the match began, all officials and staff members participated in a cleanliness drive and cleaned the ground and its surrounding areas to reinforce the message of hygiene and civic responsibility.
