Chandigarh, September 12, 2026: The Vicky Middukhera Foundation on Saturday launched its month-long statewide awareness campaign, ‘Chardi Kala Punjab – Drug-Free Punjab’, from Sector 17, Chandigarh. Around 200 youths and foundation members participated. A street play highlighted the devastating impact of drug abuse, followed by a one-kilometre awareness march carrying the message, ‘Say No to Drugs.’
The foundation said the campaign will reach cities, villages, schools, colleges, panchayats and religious institutions across Punjab. It also urged the Punjab Government to introduce a ‘Punjab Recovery Card’ to ensure continued medical follow-up, counselling, family support and rehabilitation after treatment, along with employment and skill-development opportunities for recovering addicts.
