MAY 29: A powerful and engaging symposium on the theme Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir (Drug-Free Jammu and Kashmir) was held today at Government High School, Gurha Brahmana, organized by the Cultural Unit Jammu under the Department of Information and Public Relations.
The event aimed to raise awareness about the growing issue of drug abuse among youth and promote a strong message of prevention, education, and collective responsibility.

Young participants delivered thought-provoking speeches, sharing real-life stories, societal impacts, and the importance of saying “no” to drugs. Their words resonated deeply with the audience, inspiring hope and determination in the fight against substance abuse. The young voices were not only articulate but deeply passionate, reflecting their commitment to a healthier and safer future for Jammu and Kashmir.
Officials from the Cultural Unit praised the students for their awareness and courage, encouraging them to continue being ambassadors of positive change.
