Timely awareness, family support and seeking professional help when required are important steps towards overcoming substance abuse.

Participants pledged to stay away from all forms of substance abuse, motivate their family members and friends to adopt a drug-free lifestyle, and remain aware of the harmful effects of substance abuse while also creating awareness among others.

For the convenience of the general public, information about the National De-addiction Helpline 14446 was also shared for assistance related to substance abuse and de-addiction.
