CM inaugurates NSUI’s ‘Drug-Free Campus’ campaign
Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today inaugurated the NSUI District Mandi’s ‘Drug-Free Campus’ campaign from Shimla.

On the occasion, the Chief Minister said that NSUI Mandi’s ‘Drug-Free Campus’ campaign strengthens the state government’s vision of a drug-free Himachal and gives further momentum to the government’s ongoing drive against drug abuse, including chitta. He appreciated the initiative and said that such campaigns were extremely important to keep the youth away from drugs.
NSUI District Mandi President Anit Jaswal said that the campaign was inspired by Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu’s anti-chitta campaign and aims to make school and college campuses free from drugs. He said that the campaign would include awareness programmes, anti-drug pledges, anti-chitta walkathons and sports tournaments. The campaign would run from 23 January to 15 February, with programmes first being organised at the school level and later at the college level.
