In Aija, a seminar at the Government Degree College aimed to inform students about the harmful effects of drugs. Local Sub-Inspector Srinivas Rao spoke to students about how drug addiction damages lives and leads to criminal activities. He stressed the importance of staying away from drugs to honor the hard work of their parents. The session encouraged active participation from both students and staff.
Meanwhile, in Gadwal, Traffic Sub-Inspector Balachandrudu led a vehicle inspection near the Circle Inspector’s office. He warned about the health and financial impacts of drugs and tobacco products like gutkha and cigarettes. The inspection emphasized the importance of wearing helmets, with consequences for non-compliance, including fines and vehicle seizure. The drive involved traffic personnel including Ramesh, Sudhakar, Shivakumar, Yugender, and Vishnu.
In Nandinne, Sub-Inspector Bijja Srinivasulu conducted an awareness seminar at the Government Zilla Parishad High School in K.T. Doddi mandal. He highlighted the importance of guiding children to avoid drugs, emphasizing the societal role of teachers, parents, and community members in safeguarding the youth.
