KARIMNAGAR: District collector Pamela Satpathy appealed to the public to fully cooperate in the effort to eliminate drugs from the district and work together to make it a drug-free zone. She made the appeal while inspecting a unique rangoli competition held on the roadside near Karimnagar Club on Thursday.
