Participants raised anti-drug slogans and carried placards bearing messages such as "Say No to Drugs" and "Choose Life, Not Drugs," creating widespread public awareness along the route.
The event reflected strong community participation and reaffirmed the shared commitment of the district administration, Police, and civil society towards making Jammu and Kashmir a drug-free society under the ongoing Nasha Mukti Abhiyan.
