“About two hundred boys and girl students participated in the awareness campaign. The students actively took part in the deliberations. Staff of the school was also present,” the handout added.
The speakers on this occasion highlighted the role of being cautious and vigilante about the drug peddlers around the school campuses. The Chairman TLSC Alnasir impressed upon the students not to fall prey the lucrative propositions made to students to be couriers for some easy money.
“They must guard themselves from the bad influences and be their own role models. The takeaway lesson from Aryan Khan’s case is that at time being in wrong company at the wrong place could lead you to serious trouble,” Al Nasir said.
“Kishtwar has more than 27cases of Narcotics (NDPS) which involve youngsters and this does not include, cases which involve commercial quantities before this Sessions Court.”
“It’s high time youngsters which are more vulnerable and prone to being the victims of such drug peddlers, who might lure them into trafficking. They must be careful about their company and peer groups and if any such person comes to their notice, they must report it to concerned authorities or teachers about such happenings,” the handout added.
