Srinagar, Jul 31: A comprehensive awareness programme on drug de-addiction and substance abuse was organised by the Information and Public Relations (DIPR), Jammu and Kashmir, at the Government Girls Higher Secondary School Zadibal on Thursday.

Aiming to tackle the growing menace of substance abuse among youth, particularly the students, a moving theatrical performance - a short play - was performed by the team of professional artists from DIPR, which delivered a compelling narrative centered around the real-life dangers of drug addiction in Kashmir Valley.

The event which was held in the auditorium of the school, drew an enthusiastic crowd of students and teachers who acknowledged the threat and urged the continuous awareness programs to keep this nuisance away from the schools.

By utilizing the techniques of story-telling deeply carved out of lived experiences in Kashmir, the artists presented painfully emotional scenes that showed how drugs can destroy individuals and families, breaking the thin spirit of society.

The performers called for strong action against drug abuse and implored students to stand for the right choices in their lives and towards a drug-free future.

A spokesperson from the artists' group stressed the need for large-scale awareness programs, especially in educational institutions. "This is not going to stop at awareness," he said; "We want to motivate students to always resist the negetive peer pressure and become ambassadors of change in their communities."

The Principal GHSS Zadibal, Mr. Mohammad Shafi Lone, appreciated the performers for bringing serious and impactful messages forward. "The message is clear: awareness is the first step to prevention," he added.

He assured them that, alongside the school's commitment to holistic education, such awareness programs would continue in future.

Students vowed to stay away from substances and aid in the awareness campaigns among their peers and families.
