Mangaluru, July 17 : The Vamanjoor city police in collaboration with NSS unit of St Raymond's PU college, Vamanjoor conducted an awareness program on drugs and its after- effects on 17th July 2023. The Program was conducted in support of the mission of the government of Karnataka.

Team of police officers addressing PU students of St. Raymond PU College elaborated on the ill effects of drugs on the user's health. They also highlighted the punishment enforced on drug peddlers and drug related Crimes.

They also mentioned that August 15 2023 is the deadline given by the government to every individual who is involved in such an act to voluntarily surrender. If not thereafter legal action will be taken against such individuals.

Rev. Sr. Anita Lydia, Principal of St. Raymond's PU College said awareness of drug abuse was the need of the hour. " It is unfortunate that Ganja and banned tobacco products are easily available to students, leading to a rise in substance abuse. To curb this, students must be educated of their ill effects at the college level," she added. And hence she wholeheartedly supported and welcomed the team. Ms. Radha Lecturer in Kannada hosted the program.
