Wardha Police hold anti-drug awareness programme at GS Commerce College

The Wardha district police have taken the growing use of narcotic substances seriously. Police say young people in particular appear to be falling prey to this dangerous habit, which is harming their health, their families and society as a whole.

Madhuri Waghade, head of the Damini Pathak, also offered guidance in view of the safety of the college's female students. At the end, all present sang the national song together, and the programme concluded.
