Hyderabad's Youth Take a Stand: 2000-Strong Against Drugs

In a powerful display of unity, Hyderabad's Sanjeevaiah Park became a battleground against narcotics as 2,000 students and citizens gathered for the Youth Unite Against Drugs Awareness Run. This event, organized by Telangana Vidya Samithi and the EAGLE Force, was a testament to the community's commitment to a healthier and drug-free Telangana.

The sea of white t-shirts at Necklace Road symbolized more than just a collective fashion choice; it represented a pledge, a promise to eradicate the scourge of drugs from the state. Telangana Women's Commission chairperson Nerella Sharada's address emphasized the importance of this mission, stating that a drug-free society is the cornerstone of a prosperous future for Telangana. Her words resonated with the crowd, especially the youth, who are often the most vulnerable to the allure of substance abuse.

Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) Saiddulu and Srinivas Rao brought a practical perspective to the event, warning attendees about the physical and legal consequences of drug involvement. Their message was clear: the battle against drugs is a shared duty, and every individual has a role to play. This sentiment was further reinforced by Sandeep Shandilya, director of the EAGLE Force, who ensured that each participant was recognized as an 'anti-drug soldier' and community ambassador.

The gathering concluded with a call to action, urging parents, educators, and professionals to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities. This proactive approach is vital in dismantling drug networks and ensuring the safety and well-being of Telangana's youth and its future. With the community's dedication and the authorities' support, the event marked a significant step towards a brighter, drug-free Telangana.
