Hyderabad: Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Sunday, August 25, launched an anti-drug addiction campaign stating that he aims to make the state drug free. He added that the Telangana Anti Narcotics Bureau has been formed for that purpose and that it is his goal to eradicate drugs from Telangana.
Speaking at an event, the Telangana chief minister said, “The anti drugs and anti suicide drive for farmers has motivated our government. Hence farmer loans worth Rs 31,000 crore were waived off. Look at what’s happening in Punjab,” stated Revanth Reddy, with regard to the abuse of drugs in the north-west Indian state.
He drew parallels between the youth development initiative of Shanti Sarovar and the new Skill University the state is setting up. The Telangana chief minister Reddy said that his government will fund the university which will focus on industry driven skill development. The aim is to eradicate unemployment and all kinds of addiction among youth. “No one should dare to dream about drugs in Telangana,” Reddy remarked.
The Telangana chief minister also congratulated the Bhramma Kumaris on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Shanti Sarovar and assured that the Telangana government would felicitate the renewal of the lease for the organisation.
