He called upon mothers and youth to work in close coordination with the police and administration to ensure that the younger generation is protected from the harmful effects of drugs.

He further stressed that collective efforts at the community level can effectively curb the spread of drugs and send a strong message against anti-social elements attempting to harm society. The meeting concluded with a strong resolve to continue the anti-drug movement and safeguard the future of the youth.
