The Bharatiya Janata Party will commence its Drug-Free Yatra in Fazilka, Punjab on September 20, aiming to raise awareness against substance abuse.
The Bharatiya Janata Party announced that its "Drug-Free Yatra" will be inaugurated in Fazilka, Punjab, on September 20. The campaign is designed to highlight the dangers of drug abuse, promote preventive measures and galvanise community participation.
Party leaders said the yatra will feature public rallies, meetings with local officials and NGOs, and outreach programs in schools and colleges. Organisers expect the events to draw large crowds and generate media attention across the region.
The launch aligns with Punjab's broader anti‑drug initiatives, which have included stricter enforcement, rehabilitation centers and awareness drives. BJP officials hope the yatra will reinforce the party's commitment to a drug‑free society ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
Stakeholders, including law‑enforcement agencies and civil‑society groups, have been invited to collaborate on the initiative, underscoring a multi‑pronged approach to curb substance misuse in the state.
The party plans to extend the yatra to other districts after the Fazilka kickoff, aiming to sustain momentum and build public support for its anti‑drug agenda.
