As part of an ongoing effort to create a drug-free society, Tirupati police recently screened more than 300 students for ganja (marijuana) use during a special awareness and prevention drive conducted at educational institutions. Students identified as users are being referred for counseling and rehabilitation programs rather than facing immediate legal action, with the focus placed on recovery and reform.
The initiative is part of Tirupati Police’s broader zero-tolerance policy against drug abuse and trafficking. District police have been conducting awareness programs in schools and colleges, distributing testing kits, and increasing surveillance on drug-related activities across the district.
Key Highlights:
- ✅ Over 300 students screened for ganja use.
- ✅ Counseling and rehabilitation support for identified students.
- ✅ Awareness sessions conducted in educational institutions.
- ✅ Strict action against drug trafficking and repeat offenders.
- ✅ Continued campaigns to keep Tirupati drug-free.
Authorities have urged parents, teachers, and students to actively support anti-drug initiatives and report any information related to drug consumption or trafficking.
