Mysuru, June 26: Kannada film actor Vinay Rajkumar emphasized the need for community involvement to combat the dangers of drug abuse in society.
Speaking on the issue, he urged the public to remain vigilant and assist in preventing the trafficking and consumption of drugs. He stated that any activities related to drugs should be reported to the appropriate authorities. According to him, if there are no buyers, the drug trade will naturally decline. He called on society to unite and actively work towards eliminating this problem.
Vinay Rajkumar also stressed that individuals struggling with drug addiction due to personal, familial, or health issues should not be isolated or stigmatized. Those returning from rehabilitation should not be labeled as ‘addicts’ but welcomed back into society as normal individuals. He noted that providing support and encouragement to these individuals would help them rebuild their lives and reintegrate into the mainstream.
Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu announced a zero-tolerance policy towards drug trafficking in the state. He made these remarks during an address on the occasion of International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
He affirmed the state government’s commitment to curbing drug trafficking and bringing offenders to justice. In a social media post, he reminded everyone that the fight against drugs is ultimately a battle for the youth, their dreams, health, and future.
He reiterated that Andhra Pradesh is dedicated to combating drug trafficking and providing all possible assistance to those struggling with addiction, enabling them to recover with dignity and rebuild their lives.
Chief Minister Chandrababu further stated that the days of allowing drugs to flourish in the state are over. Today, Andhra Pradesh symbolizes zero tolerance towards drug trafficking, hope for those seeking rehabilitation, and a safe future for every family.
