Udupi : Udupi district Police along with Udupi district Working Journalists’ Association jointly organized ‘Selfie with Sign Campaign’ at Big Bazaar here on Wednesday, August 22, as part of a two month long awareness and sensitization drive against drug abuse.
T. Venkatesh Naik, District and Session Court Judge launched the awareness drive by signing on the board. He said the drug addiction is an evil to the society and it affects economic development. We can see youth are becoming the victims of drug addiction at large. Therefore, the ‘Drugs and Cosmetics Act – 1940’ as well as ‘Drugs and Cosmetics Rules – 1945’ were framed in order to prevent drug abuse. Indeed, drug abuse is punishable offence now. He appreciated the initiatives of the Police department and District working journalists association to launch creative awareness in order to prevent the drug abuse. He said there is need to set up more de-addiction camps and need to give awareness especially for the youths in the district.
Sundar Rai Mandara, Film and Theatre artiste pointed out that the teenage is more crucial phase in one’s life. Hence, this age can be misled. When a person becomes drug addict, his entire life will spoil. The police department is doing excellent job to stop the drug abuse. We should pledge to say ‘No to Drugs’, he said.
Priyanka Mary Francis, Deputy Commissioner appreciated the motives of the programme. In his keynote address, Laxman Nimbargi, Superintendent of Police said that more than 80% of the people are not aware about the impact of drug abuse. He said in order to the awareness on drug abuse, there have been organized 12 various kinds of programmes such as marathon, short film making contest, cyclothon etc., Police department is putting its best effort in preventing drug related offences, he said.
Raghavendra K, Manager of Big Bazar, Udupi, Joel Soans, Managing Trustee, Acumen Training Institute, Mangaluru, Ganesh Prasad Pandelu President of Udupi district Working Journalists Association, Udupi and hundreds of students were present during the campaign.
