Students, teachers, and staff members collectively took a pledge, reaffirming their commitment to abstain from drugs, spread awareness, and motivate others to do the same.
According to the police, the youth play an important role in spreading awareness and took part in the launch of the campaign with a lot of zeal and enthusiasm.
As part of the campaign launch, police personnel reached out to schools within their respective district jurisdictions and interacted with students, highlighting the real-life consequences of drug abuse and encouraging them to remain informed and vigilant.
The drive, conducted on Friday across schools, was carried out with the active support of the Directorate of Education, Delhi Government, under the leadership of Director Veditha Reddy.
On Thursday, the theme song for the campaign in the form of a rap, focusing on the harmful effects of drug abuse and encouraging youth to stay away from narcotics, was launched by Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha at the Delhi Police Headquarters.
Notably, the campaign song and information are also being played in cinema halls across Delhi, along with informative jingles on radio platforms.
The Delhi Police have urged residents to actively participate in and support the initiative, contributing to the collective goal of building a drug-free society.
