The Governor said that everyone got inspiration from the Kangra Against Covid-19 Working Group. He said that there were many such organizations in the society which acted according to their ideology and thoughts and set an example for the society. Their experiences were recognized in the society and were a torch bearer for all of us.
Expressing concern over the drug addiction, he said that at present it was the biggest problem in the society. He said that there was a need to organize de-addiction programs against it to raise awareness among the people in the society, especially in Himachal Pradesh. All social organizations should come forward in this direction, he appealed.
“If the society thinks in one direction, then it has that power that it can face every challenge. It was the same strength of our thinking, we won the corona battle”, said the Governor. He added that every person should cooperate for a drug-free Himachal as the figures or data of drug abuse in the State were shocking.
He also showed their concern in environmental issues and said that all of us should also work towards environmental protection. He said that if we didn’t understand the environment properly, then problems might arise in future. He congratulated and expressed gratitude to all the officers and organizations that did excellent work during the Corona pandemic.
