Summary:
Srinagar, Nov 12 (PTI) Drug abuse is a grave issue that the country is faced with but it is being addressed with the support of all concerned quarters, Union minister Virendra Singh said on Friday.
He was here to preside over an award ceremony of ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan’ held at SKICC.
The event was held to felicitate individuals and officials for their contributions towards making the country drug-free.
It was organised by the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (MoSJE) in collaboration with the Jammu and Kashmir Department of Social Welfare.
Singh said the cooperation of common people is of paramount importance and the dream of a drug-free India cannot be achieved by a single ministry or department alone.
He congratulated all stakeholders associated with the mission and said that the 10 districts of Jammu and Kashmir selected under the campaign have shown “very good and promising results” so far.
