During the launch, the Deputy Commissioner administered an oath of abstinence to all officials and staff. The focus of the campaign is to unite all sectors of society to build a drug-free community. The residents are asked to actively take part in this campaign and create awareness among others. This special drive is scheduled from June 10 to June 26, 2025, featuring a range of awareness programs to educate people about the detrimental effects of drug abuse.
