The Chief Minister stressed that everyone has a role to play in making Jharkhand a drug-free state, and prevention of drugs and narcotics is possible only with collective efforts.

Officials Take Oath for Drug-Free Jharkhand Campaign

During the event, officials took an oath to keep themselves, their families, and society away from drugs as part of the Drug-Free Jharkhand campaign.

Soren highlighted the importance of the awareness chariot as an initiative towards controlling drug abuse and making people aware of its ill effects.

Statewide Campaign from June 19 to 26

The awareness chariots are part of a statewide campaign being conducted in all districts of Jharkhand from June 19 to 26.

The initiative aims to raise awareness against drugs and reach out to people in even the most remote areas of the state.

Through this campaign, the government hopes to educate the public about the dangers of drug abuse and encourage them to take an active role in preventing its spread.

The launch of the awareness chariots and the statewide campaign demonstrates the Jharkhand government’s commitment to tackling the issue of drug addiction and creating a healthier, safer society for all its citizens.

By involving the public and promising strict action against drug dealers, Chief Minister Champai Soren has set the stage for a collaborative effort to make Jharkhand a drug-free state.
