Keep away from drug abuse & illicit trafficking for a healthy life: Mamata

Kolkata, : West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the occasion
of International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking today said, “Keep away
from drug abuse and illicit trafficking for a healthy life and healthy society.”
“Today is International Day Against Drug Abuse & Illicit Trafficking. Keep away from
drug abuse and illicit trafficking for a healthy life and healthy society,” Ms Banerjee
posted on her social networking page.
The United Nations’ (UN) International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking
falls on this day each year to raise awareness of the major problem that illicit drugs
represent to society. This day is supported by individuals, communities and various
organizations all over the world.
This year’s theme ‘Health for Justice. Justice for Health’ emphasises that justice and
health are “two sides of the same coin” when it comes to addressing the problems
associated with drugs.
In a unique move to spread awareness against drug abuse, the Kolkata Police has
decided to felicitate citizens in the city who will capture the best photograph related
to the theme ‘Say No to Drugs’.
The move on the part of the law enforcers is significant, as June 26 is observed as
the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
The three most innovative pictures will be felicitated. It may be mentioned that since
June 26 last year, the narcotics cell of the detective department of Kolkata Police has
seized illegal drugs worth crores of rupees and arrested important peddlers/kingpins
from all over India and abroad.
Apart from this, under the ‘Shuddhi’ project of Kolkata Police, 133 drug addicts who
are into petty crimes due to addiction have been sent for rehabilitation, out of which 21
are leading a drug-free life for more than a year. This also means that they are leading
a crime-free life.
“June 26 is the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. Kolkata
Police is committed to fight against the menace of drug and substance abuse that is
destroying our youth,” Kolkata Police Commissioner Anuj Sharma posted on his
Facebook page.
