Itanagar, Sep 18: Continuing with the Say No to Drugs and Itanagar Safai Abhiyan, the District Administration Capital Itanagar in collaboration with Narcotics Control Coordination and Rehabilitation Division (NCORD) and Corporator Ward No 8 Ruhi Tagung organised a social service cum drug awareness session at Gandhi Park Itanagar today as part of the ongoing Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.
Mayor Itanagar Tame Phassang said that it is the duty of every citizen to realise their duty towards their state and their capital.

He also highlighted the various initiatives of the state government to make the state better and corruption free.
The DC appealed all to work with themes of Say no to drugs and Itanagar Safai Abhiyan in its truest sense.
Oli Koyu, State Nodal Officer NCORD and Deputy Narcotics Commissioner, informed about the programs and policies of the State Government and also highlighted the legal aspect regarding punishment of drug addicts up to 1-3 years and  various drug related offences under various sections of NDPS Act. He informed that state policy has been framed and the Narcotics department will function independently in the state.
