HCP mandates Anti-Drug Committees in Colleges

 As per the directions of the State Govt and in continuation of efforts to curb drugs menace in the state , the Hyderabad City Police has now taken a strategic stride to insulate the increasingly vulnerable youngsters in colleges and other equivalent educational Institutions. The City Police Chief Mr.CV Anand has issued a notification which now mandates all colleges and other equivalent educational institutions to constitute.

"Anti-drug committee" in their institutions, comprising a minimum of 5 members drawn from faculty and students, primarily tasked to function to prevent drug abuse by equipping young people with the life skills necessary to enable them to deal with different situations without turning to drugs, the ability to resist peer pressure to use drugs.

Lack of supervision by parents and the peer influence often make young people getting addicted to substance. Once entangled, it's a black hole sinking away all good things in life and causes unbearable distress to their families and the public at large.

Since the colleges returned to normalcy after the pandemic-induced disruption during the last two years, cops have now taken up a double pronged strategy i.e., legal action alongside sensitising the youngsters which eventually cuts down the demand side in the illicit drug trade.

These ADCs (Anti - drug Committees) that will work under the guiding principles developed by Hyderabad City Police, are entrusted to play key role in creating awareness on dangers of drug abuse through various digital campaigns, workshops, seminars to ensure their campuses are free from the scourge of narcotic substances.

Moreover, at the very beginning of the academic year the head of the institution will have to convene a meeting to sensitise the students on the dangers of drug abuse and ensure cooperative approach among parents, staff, students, agencies and the police.

These committees will also liaise with the local police to tip off on usage or possession or sale or purchase of drugs. Citizens can inform the Hyderabad Police Narcotics Enforcement Wing on 8712661601 or 040-27852080.

The prevention programmes and their outcomes should be evaluated regularly to provide evidence of their worth and to improve the future programmes. Fostering partnership between home, school, agencies catalyses the fight against the illicit trade and is likely to be the best way.

"A safe environment enables students to channelise their energies properly and evolve as responsible citizens.To ensure such a milieu, ADCs should work with determination, said CP Anand, while reiterating the firm stance of state govt & city police against the illicit drug trade & abuse.
