A large number of residents attended the events, pledging not only to stay away from drugs but also to work actively within their communities to eradicate the menace.

Addressing gatherings in Chak, Sandhu Chattha, and Sunnarwala, District Planning Board Chairman Lalit Saklani said the goal is to turn the anti-drug initiative into a mass movement. “The fight against drugs can only be won with the collective support of the people,” he asserted.
