Guntur police launch anti-drug awareness ad film

The Guntur police unveiled a preview of a two-minute anti-drug awareness film titled "Drugs Vaddu Bidda – A Battle Against Drugs" at the Maitri Cinema Complex in Nagarampalem on Tuesday. The film, directed by Dileep Raja and featuring senior actor Narasimharaju, aims to educate students and youth about the dangers of drug abuse and encourage parents to keep an eye on their children's behavior, habits, and friendships.

The initiative, supported by Rajya Sabha member Bhashyam Ramakrishna and Superintendent of Police Vakul Jindal, seeks to raise awareness about drug trafficking, sale, and consumption. Jindal reported that over 70,000 college students have been sensitized against drug abuse through the Sankalpam-325 program, and urged citizens to join the campaign.

The film will be screened in cinemas and promoted through social media after gaining the necessary permissions.
