Proud moment for India! 👏 Hyderabad police has shown how dedicated enforcement can make a difference. Hope other cities learn from their model. The focus on student awareness is particularly commendable - youth are most vulnerable to this menace.

While this is great news, I wonder if similar efforts are being made in smaller towns too? Drug problems aren't limited to metro cities. Hope this award motivates police nationwide to take stronger action against narcotics.

As a parent, I appreciate the focus on educational institutions. Drugs are destroying our youth. More awareness campaigns needed across all schools and colleges. Maybe Hyderabad police can share their program details with other states?

Great achievement no doubt, but let's not forget the drug problem is still serious in many parts of India. Hope this isn't just a one-time award but leads to sustained efforts. The international drug mafia won't stop just because we got one award.
