We should also join hands with the police by conducting campaigns against drug mafia and addiction”, Limbavali said.

Even in case of heavy traffic congestion, the youth should not use foot-paths to ride motorbikes. Respect the red light in the signal just to protect your life. Every parent would want his or her children should be good. It is the responsibility of every individual to ensure the safety of others around them”, he said.
As part of the campaign, body building competition, orchestra, Kalaripayattu martial art and screening of a documentary on drug addiction prepared by the Bengaluru police were held.
