Gram Panchayats Take Firm Stance Against Drug Addiction

Gram panchayats in Auhar and Gatwar initiate stringent measures against families of those involved in drug consumption or trade. By withholding benefits, they aim to curb drug addiction, particularly among youth, and intend to launch awareness campaigns with support from community groups.

In a decisive move, the gram panchayats of Auhar and Gatwar have announced they will withhold facilities for families whose members are found involved with adulterated heroin.

This strategy is a part of their broader initiative to tackle drug addiction, particularly the use of 'chitta', a form of adulterated heroin, that is affecting the community's youth.

Panchayat Deputy Pradhan Ajay Sharma emphasized the necessity of such measures while local leaders urge cooperation from community groups for upcoming awareness campaigns.
