The Namchi district police in Sikkim organized a Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan campaign to raise public awareness about drug abuse and its prevention.
Namchi district police in the northeastern state of Sikkim held a public awareness campaign under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan banner on Thursday. The event aimed to inform citizens about the dangers of drug abuse, legal consequences, and available rehabilitation resources.
Police officials addressed a gathering of local residents, school students and community leaders, emphasizing the role of community vigilance in curbing substance misuse. Demonstrations of preventive measures and distribution of informational pamphlets were part of the outreach.
The campaign aligns with the central government's broader Nasha Mukt Bharat initiative, which seeks to create a drug‑free India through coordinated efforts of law enforcement, health agencies and civil society. Local authorities said they will continue similar drives across the district to reinforce the message.
No incidents of drug seizures or arrests were reported during the event, underscoring its preventive rather than punitive focus.
