Thousands of Youth Run in Amritsar to Promote a Drug‑Free Punjab

Amritsar witnessed a mass run organized by young participants who aimed to highlight the need for a drug‑free Punjab. The event drew thousands of volunteers who gathered at a central location before setting off on the course. Their collective effort was intended to send a clear message to the community and policymakers about the urgency of tackling substance abuse.

Organisers emphasized that the run was a peaceful, non‑political demonstration of youth commitment to a healthier society. Participants carried banners and wore slogans promoting sobriety, reinforcing the campaign’s focus on prevention and education.

Local observers noted the high turnout as a sign of growing public concern over drug issues in the state. The rally concluded with a brief address urging continued community involvement and support for anti‑drug initiatives.

The event adds to a series of grassroots movements across Punjab that seek to curb addiction through public awareness and collective action.
