In an effort to combat substance abuse, the Arunachal Pradesh police have teamed up with local NGOs to spread awareness, particularly focusing on the youth. This collaboration involves organizing educational workshops, community outreach programs, and awareness campaigns in schools and colleges. The goal is to prevent substance abuse by educating young people about its harmful effects and providing them with healthier coping mechanisms.
The initiative has gained traction, as local communities have begun to participate actively in discussions on drug prevention. The police emphasize a holistic approach to tackling substance abuse, combining enforcement, education, and rehabilitation.
