Deputy Commissioner Mukesh Repaswal has announced that special Anti-Chitta Gram Sabhas will be organized in all Gram Panchayats of the district on January 21 and 22. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the harmful effects of drug abuse, particularly the menace of chitta (heroin-based substance).
According to the directive, the primary objective of these meetings is to educate the public about the dangerous consequences of narcotics, review issues related to chitta, discuss rehabilitation measures for addicted youth, and strengthen awareness campaigns along with necessary administrative actions.
For smooth conduct of the Gram Sabhas, the concerned Block Development Officers have been designated as nodal officers. The Deputy Commissioner also highlighted that the state government has introduced a provision of cash rewards for individuals who provide information about drug traffickers.
Additionally, during these sessions, Gram Panchayat Pradhans will administer an oath to make their respective panchayats free from drugs and chitta.
This district-wide initiative reflects the administration’s commitment to tackling the growing drug problem and mobilizing communities towards a healthier, drug-free future.
