The Delhi Police launched 'NashaMukt Bharat Pakhwada' on Thursday at  Red Fort with hundreds of enthusiastic participants gathered to support the cause of a drug-free India. The inauguration ceremony was a vibrant and engaging affair, setting the tone for the two-week-long campaign aimed at eradicating drug abuse and raising awareness across the nation.

"Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Government of India is vigorously pursuing a policy of 'Zero Tolerance' against drugs. The Union Home Minister Amit Shah is committed to eliminating the drug problem and has repeatedly stressed and ordered to take the strongest possible measures for detection and demand/harm reduction. The same is being sincerely implemented by Delhi Police under the guidance of Commissioner of Police Sanjay Arora," Special Commissioner of Police (crime) Shalini Singh said.

The Delhi Police has planned several impactful events and activities, promising widespread community involvement and education. The event includes district-wise awareness campaigns, pantomime shows, Delhi Police band performance, mega e-pledge events and painting competition.

"One of the standout events will be a Walkathon at India Gate on 23 June to be graced by the presence of the Commissioner of Police, Delhi. This event aims to bring together thousands of Delhi residents in a united front against drug abuse, promoting health, fitness, and community spirit.We warmly invite all Delhi residents to participate in this noble cause," Singh stated.
