Join hands to make city drug-free: CP to public
In a public interaction programme 'Sampark' to make Jalandhar a drug-free city, Commissioner of Police Dhanpreet Kaur today gave a clarion call to people to join hands for wiping out the curse of drugs from the district.
During the interaction with people at DAV College, Jalandhar, the CP said Punjabis have been blessed with indomitable spirit to excel even in hostile conditions. Citing the examples of terrorism, she said Punjab overcame even those dark days due to the firm commitment and resolve to make the state a peaceful and progressive state. She urged the people to revoke the same spirit to ensure that the problem of drug was completely eliminated from the district.
Dhanpreet Kaur further called upon masses to join the Yudh Nashian Virudh initiative to wipe out drug menace from society. She invited public to report drug-related activities openly so as to cut drug supply chain.
She said the basic motive of this interaction was to ensure that the younger generations were saved from falling prey to the menace. She said the government has already snapped the supply lines of the drugs and now the need of the hour was to check its demand by detoxification and treatment of the drug addicts. The CP further stated that the wheels of government have been set in motion to ensure that this target was achieved the earliest.
Throwing light on the Yudh Nashian de Virudh initiative, she said this was first-of-its-kind initiative to curtail the supply and demand of drugs through mass mobilisation. She said this path-breaking initiative was aimed at ensuring the maximum public participation to tackle this menace.The programme would act as a catalyst in transforming the Jalandhar completely into a drug-free city.
