Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In an effort to create a drug-free society, the Indore Police is conducting various awareness programmes as part of the drug-free India campaign. Following the instructions from the police headquarters, a de-addiction fortnight is being celebrated to educate citizens about the harmful effects of drugs. The police are actively organising programmes and workshops during this period to raise awareness and promote a drug-free lifestyle.

 As part of these initiatives, the Training and Awareness Cell of the Indore Police recently visited industrial units, including Jepika Paint Pvt Ltd and SrinathMultitrade Pvt Ltd, situated in Udhyog Nagar Palda.
