The Tripura administration inaugurated a state‑wide anti‑drug youth foot march, ‘Nasha Mukt Yuva Padyatra’, in the town of Kailashahar on Thursday.
State officials gathered in Kailashahar on Thursday to launch the Nasha Mukt Yuva Padyatra, a foot march aimed at curbing drug abuse among young people across Tripura. The event was marked by speeches from senior ministers who highlighted the growing concern over substance misuse in the state and outlined the government's commitment to a drug‑free society.
Organisers said the padyatra will cover major districts over the next few weeks, with volunteers, school students and community leaders walking together to spread awareness. Information booths and interactive sessions on the health risks of narcotics will be set up at designated stops along the route.
The initiative is part of Tripura's broader health and youth welfare programmes, seeking to involve local NGOs and health workers in preventive education. Authorities expect the march to mobilise thousands of participants and generate media coverage that reinforces the anti‑drug message throughout the region.
