Anti-drug abuse rally taken out

Telangana Anti Narcotics Bureau on Tuesday conducted an anti-drug rally at Necklace Road on the occasion of International Day against Drug Abuse.
In all, 2,000 students participated in the rally. Addressing the gathering, TGNB Director Sandeep Shandilya said, “All of us must pledge not to take drugs and guide our near and dear ones to do the same.” Telangana DGP Ravi Gupta said, “The International Day against Drug Abuse is a reminder for all about the drug menace prevalent across the world. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that it is totally wiped out. It is a major task which can be achieved through the cooperation of the enforcement authorities and the society. Getting addicted to drugs is a disease which will affect the society at large.”
Hyderabad Commissioner of Police Kothkota Srinivas Reddy said, “Consumption of cigarettes and alcohol are harmful to individuals as it may create financial problems to their family, but consumption of drugs leads to destroying young people’s future.”
A few traitors are involved in the society with an intent to destroy the future of the youth. Police can control law & order, crime, traffic easily, but police can’t control spreading of drugs alone. It can be possible only with the help and support of the people.”
