Be catalysts for change against drugs: Haryana governor to youth

Haryana governor Ashim Kumar Ghosh urged youth to become catalysts for change against drug addiction at a national conference on 'War Against Drugs' at Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law in Patiala.

Ghosh said every youth should inspire at least ten others to join the campaign against substance abuse.

He stressed that the fight against drugs is a collective responsibility of families, educational institutions, communities, and citizens, not just law enforcement.

Ghosh recommended compassion, treatment, and rehabilitation for those affected by substance abuse, rather than stigma and social exclusion.

Punjab governor Gulab Chand Kataria and Haryana first lady Mitra Ghosh were present at the event.
