The City Police conducted an awareness against drug addiction for heads of schools and colleges here on Thursday. Commissioner of Police G. Karthikeyan presided over the programme that was held at the City Armed Reserve police campus. 

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Karthikeyan underscored the need for joint efforts to prevent school and college students from using drugs and getting addicted to it.

Such awareness meetings would continue, he said, warning of initiating stern action as per law against those selling drugs, a police press release said.
