Naresh Dhiman, a noted educationist, addressed the gathering of rural youth, highlighting the devastating effects of drug abuse. He noted that drug addiction, particularly the use of chitta (heroin), had spread widely, destroying families and trapping young people in its grip. Stressing the importance of awareness and education, Dhiman urged parents to stay alert to the daily activities and habits of their children. He emphasised that the menace of drugs could only be eradicated with active community involvement.
