While the cause is noble, I wish such events weren't so politicized. Drug eradication should be beyond party politics. Still, good to see awareness being created.

Hope this isn't just a one-day event. Need sustained rehabilitation programs and counseling centers in rural Himachal where the problem is most severe.
