Skit play, theatre, counselling and drama are the powerful medium for conveying a strong message to the people, the DGP added.

Speaking further Shri Singh said together, we can tackle the drug menace. As regard to consumption of drugs it is the responsibility of each and every citizen to come forward and supplement the efforts of law enforcement agencies to prevent the requirement of drugs. The society should play a significant role to prosecute those who indulge in drugs so as to refrain our people from such unproductive activities which cause harm to the health.
