Andhra Pradesh Launches Anti-Drug and Road Safety Campaigns

Andhra Pradesh Launches Anti-Drug and Road Safety Campaigns

In Andhra Pradesh, two important campaigns have been launched to keep people safe.

In Anantapur, the police started a five-day campaign to teach people about road safety.

They want to stop accidents by making sure people follow traffic rules like wearing helmets and seat belts, not driving too fast, and not using their phones while driving.

The campaign includes rallies, special programs, and activities to teach safe driving habits.

They also plan to improve roads and make sure ambulances can reach accidents quickly.

The police chief said that many accidents happen because people don't follow these rules.

In NTR district, a 35-day anti-drug campaign called ‘Drugs Pai Dandayatra’ was launched with a big cycle rally.

The campaign aims to create a drug-free society by spreading awareness across the district.

The home minister and other officials urged citizens to stay away from drugs and to inform the police if they see any drug-related activities.

The campaign is being led by the police and includes strict action against those involved in drug trafficking.

Both campaigns involve many stakeholders, including government departments, NGOs, schools, and local bodies, working together to keep the community safe.
