    State-Level Training Held for ‘Yudh Nasha Mukti’ Campaign, Meetings to Be Organised in 15,000 Villages and Wards

    A state-level training programme was organised at the Police Training Centre in Phillaur to take the Yudh Nasha Mukti’ campaign against drug abuse in Punjab to the grassroots level. Around 500 guest speakers, including zonal, district and constituency-level coordinators, participated in the programme. Overall, nearly 700 participants were provided training. The Punjab government urged officials associated with the campaign and guest speakers to effectively take the anti-drug efforts to every village and ward across the state.

    Meetings to Be Held in More Than 15,000 Areas

    The main objective of the training programme was to prepare teams that will conduct meetings in more than 15,000 villages and wards across Punjab. During these meetings, people will be informed about the work carried out under the campaign so far. This will include information about action against drug smugglers, arrests, efforts to connect people affected by drug abuse with de-addiction centres, and other steps taken by the Punjab government.

    Challenges of the Campaign to Be Discussed

    The village- and ward-level meetings will also discuss challenges encountered during the anti-drug campaign. The public will also be informed about the roadmap for making the campaign more effective and comprehensive in the coming period.

    Preparations Underway Ahead of Meetings

    Ahead of the meetings in villages and wards, constituency-level preparatory meetings were organised. These meetings will be chaired by the concerned MLAs and constituency in-charges. Police and civil administration officials, constituency-level teams, VDC conveners and working presidents from villages and wards participated in these meetings.

    Campaign Strategy to Be Finalised at Meetings

    At the constituency-level meetings, the framework for village- and ward-level programmes, coordination among teams and other preparations will be finalised. During the training programme held in Phillaur, participants were given detailed information about both stages of the campaign. They were also briefed about their responsibilities and the working procedure for the upcoming village- and ward-level meetings.

    Commitment to Make Punjab Drug-Free

    At the conclusion of the programme, all participants pledged to effectively take the ‘Yudh Nasha Mukti’ campaign to every village and ward in Punjab. They expressed their commitment to carrying out their responsibilities seriously and taking the campaign forward with broad public participation.
