The SP maintained that drugs are silently and steadily destroying many precious lives. “They are stealing away our young people, the future pillars of our District, before they can even reach their full potential. If we allow this menace to continue unchecked, more innocent lives will be lost, families will be shattered, and our society will suffer irreparable damage,” he said.
Stating that this is the time for unity, responsibility, and collective action, the SP said the Chandel District Police appeals to all citizens, village leaders, community organisations, churches, youth clubs, women’s groups, and every concerned individual to join hands in this fight. “Together, let us identify those who are bringing in, selling, and spreading these deadly substances in our District. These individuals are not just breaking the law, they are destroying the lives of our children and weakening the foundation of our society,” he added.
