Eagle Force Urges Students to Stay Drug-Free

Nizamabad: The Central Bureau of Communication (CBC), ministry of information and broadcasting, organised an awareness programme on the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan at Girraj Government Degree College in Nizamabad on Tuesday to educate students about the harmful effects of drug abuse and promote a drug-free society.

Addressing the programme, Nizamabad Eagle Force deputy superintendent of police M. Somanatham urged students to stay away from drugs, choose positive friendships and focus on education and career-building. He said the Telangana government was committed to building a drug-free state through sustained awareness and enforcement.

Warning that even casual experimentation with narcotic substances could lead to addiction, he advised students to devote the next five to seven years to education and skill development, set clear goals and build strong character. He said positive peer groups play a key role in preventing substance abuse and cautioned that drug addiction can destroy health, careers and family well-being.

Girraj Government Degree College principal Prof. P. Ram Mohan Reddy called upon students to become ambassadors of the anti-drug campaign. He urged them to resist peer pressure, spread awareness among their families and communities, and take a pledge to remain drug-free. He reaffirmed the college’s commitment to promoting awareness and appealed to students to contribute towards a drug-free Telangana.

CBC field publicity officer Shivacharan Reddy said the programme was aimed at creating awareness about the harmful effects of drug abuse, its legal consequences and the role of youth in building a healthy society. He appealed to students to adopt the message, “No to Drugs, Yes to Life,” and actively participate in the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan.

A Palle Suddulu folk performance by a song and drama troupe conveyed the message of the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan during the programme.
