Addressing the people at Fatehgarh Churian in Gurdaspur district on the second day of his ‘padyatra’ against drugs, he thanked the people for participating in huge numbers and said it was only through collective efforts that the menace can be uprooted.

Kataria said, “We need to oppose the conspiracy by foreign elements to weaken Punjabis physically and join hands with the government in its war against drugs.”

He appealed to the people from rural and urban areas to put up boards outside their respective streets that they oppose this menace and will extend full cooperation to uproot it.

He said as the state government’s crackdown has started showcasing positive results, it is a chance for every aware resident to support the government in this cause.
