Himachal's Mass Movement: Anti-Drug Walkathon Aims for Impact

Himachal Pradesh is transforming its anti-drug initiative into a mass movement, as declared by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. The upcoming Anti-Chitta Walkathon in Shimla on November 15 aims to galvanize public support with a series of awareness activities planned to engage youths, students, and citizens.

Convening a preparatory meeting for the event, Sukhu emphasized the importance of public participation, with registration facilitated through a bar code system. The walkathon will proceed from Ridge to Chaura Maidan and features a diversity of participants from various societal sectors committed to battling the drug menace.

The state administration, in severe resolve to eliminate chitta, gears up for a three-month-long campaign supported by district and sub-divisional level events. Sukhu, along with cabinet members and legislators, is poised to take part, while DGP Ashok Tiwari oversees event preparations.
