Srinagar, Sep 21 (KINS): The Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) Kashmir, in collaboration with Kashmir Civil Society, organized a drug awareness programme at Government High School, Narkara Budgam. The event was attended by students, teaching, and non-teaching staff of the school, aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of drug abuse and the collective responsibility of society in combating this menace.
The Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) from the Anti-Narcotics Task Force gave a comprehensive presentation on the drug problem, discussing its sources, causes, consequences, and the crucial role that every member of the community must play in curbing it.
