Kollam City Police have launched a month-long anti-drug drive to strengthen awareness against drug abuse and encourage public participation in prevention efforts across the city.
The campaign, reported on June 17, comes as Kerala continues to focus on anti-narcotics awareness, enforcement and early intervention to protect students and young people from substance abuse.
Awareness Drive To Focus On Youth Safety
The month-long campaign will focus on awareness programmes, public participation and preventive action against drug abuse in Kollam city.
As part of the initiative, police are expected to reach out to students, youth groups, families and local communities with messages on the dangers of narcotics and the importance of early prevention.
The campaign also aims to make anti-drug awareness a shared responsibility, with schools, residents’ groups and community organisations working along with law enforcement.
Kollam Police Call For Public Cooperation
Kollam City Police are expected to use the drive to strengthen public vigilance and encourage citizens to share credible information about suspicious drug-related activities.
Officials have been focusing on prevention along with enforcement, as drug abuse among young people remains a serious concern for families and educational institutions.
Police awareness campaigns are important because they help students understand the risks of substance abuse before they are exposed to harmful influences.
Kerala Steps Up Anti-Narcotics Efforts
The Kollam campaign comes at a time when Kerala has increased wider anti-narcotics measures through enforcement drives and public awareness activities.
The local drive adds a community-level focus to these efforts by encouraging citizens to remain alert and support preventive action.
For Kollam, the campaign is not only about action against drug abuse. It is also about protecting young people, supporting families and building a safer public environment through awareness and cooperation.
