Special Task Forces and de-addiction centers are pivotal in this statewide initiative.

On Saturday, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini kicked off the 'Drug-Free Haryana Cyclothon 2.0', a vigorous initiative aimed at eradicating drug addiction from the state. Participants took a pledge to fight this scourge, emphasizing Haryana's cultural pride where there's no space for drugs.
