The Deputy Commissioner informed that the Mega Padyatra in Bandipora district will be held on May 25, starting from SK Stadium Bandipora and culminating at Ajar Chowk.
“Tomorrow’s Mega Padyatra is not merely an event, but a collective pledge of the people of Bandipora against drug abuse. Every citizen’s participation will strengthen this mission and send a strong message that society stands united for a Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir,” the DC said.
She urged youth, students, civil society members, traders, religious leaders, PRI representatives, government employees and the general public to participate in large numbers.
The Deputy Commissioner said collective public participation was essential to combat the menace of drug abuse and protect the younger generation from substance abuse.
