Himachal Pradesh Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla said on Tuesday that "we all need to work together to make Himachal drug free."
He was at the concluding ceremony of the month long ‘Khel Khilao – Nasha Bhagao’ campaign at Arki in Solan district.
‘’Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, I initiated an anti-drug campaign in Himachal a year ago. While progress has been gradual, the successful execution of this sports-based awareness programme reflects positive momentum,’’ said the governor.
He said such programmes can only succeed if kept away from politics. He also acknowledged the role of women in this movement and called them the strongest force to fight against drug addiction.
He said our state has a great history of bravery and drug addiction in youth can harm the nation by weakening the future.
