To spread awareness about the harmful effects of drug addiction among youth, a special campaign was organized at Gyan Devi Senior Secondary School, Sector 10, by the local Police Department. The session was conducted by Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Vinay.

ASI Vinay began the session by highlighting the rising threat of drug addiction among teenagers. He explained how addiction adversely affects not only health but also academics, family relationships, and one’s future. Real-life examples were shared to help students understand the serious consequences of drug abuse.

The students were informed about common causes leading to addiction, such as peer pressure, curiosity, and stress. The ASI urged them to speak up and seek help from parents, teachers, or police officers whenever needed. He also provided practical tips on how to say ‘No’ firmly and confidently in difficult situations. Helpline numbers were shared with the students at the end of the session to ensure support is easily accessible.

The School Principal, Ms. Sheena Yadav, expressed her gratitude to the Police Department and emphasized the importance of such awareness initiatives to safeguard the future of the youth.
