New Delhi, June 26 || Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday called upon citizens to join efforts by the government, police and society to fight the drug menace and report sale or consumption of contraband in their neighbourhoods on helpline 1933.
Addressing a gathering at Yamuna Sports Complex to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, CM Gupta said, "It is a collective fight against drug abuse. Each one of you can contribute. Don't be discouraged by the thought that one person's efforts won't achieve anything."
We all should join the fight against drug addiction so that by 2047, when we achieve Viksit Bharat, the country is completely drug-free as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she said.
"Our goal is that Delhi's youth channel their energy into nation-building, social service, and positive change - this is the core resolve of our government. The pledge of a 'Drug-Free India' given by the Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji has today become a nationwide people's movement," CM Gupta later wrote on X.
"The active guidance and strong administrative leadership of the Union Home Minister Shri @AmitShah in advancing this campaign with strength are truly inspiring. The Delhi government is working with full commitment to fulfil this national objective," she wrote.
