To make this campaign successful, we all have to fight a big and decisive war against drugs. Drug addiction harms both health and social prestige. He said that we are working at every level for de-addiction, public participation is very important in this important work. Without that, our dream of “Drugs Free Uttarakhand” cannot be fulfilled. In the last 3 years in the state, while more than four thousand people involved in drug trafficking have been arrested, narcotics worth more than Rs 203 crore have also been seized. Appealing to the youth, he said that they themselves should say “no” to drugs with full strength and also inspire their friends to say “no” to drugs.
