On this significant day, all police personnel in the Nicobar District reaffirmed their commitment to combating drug abuse by taking an e-pledge. Highlighting the day’s activities, the Car Nicobar police staff performed a Nukad Natak at Kuchat Park, illustrating the devastating impact of drug use on individuals and society. Additionally, PS Campbell Bay organized a drawing competition for children and youth, centered on the theme of drug abuse, with enthusiastic participants receiving awards for their creative submissions.
To further engage the community, the district police orchestrated a variety of events, including a cycle rally, a volleyball match at PS Katchal, and specialized awareness programs at PS Nancowry and PS Teressa.
