ISLAMABAD, Jan 12 (APP):Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police on Monday organised an anti-narcotics awareness walk, bringing together students from leading universities and colleges under its ongoing campaign “Nasha Ab Nahi,” aimed at curbing drug abuse and promoting a drug-free learning environment across the federal capital.
A police spokesperson told APP on Monday that the awareness walk was held on the special instructions of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, who has directed both intensified enforcement operations and community-focused initiatives to keep educational institutions safe from drugs.
Students from Bahria University, Air University, and other educational institutions participated in large numbers, along with SP City Dr. Ayaz Hussain, SP Industrial Area Khalid Mehmood Awan, Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) President Sardar Tahir Mehmood, civil society representatives, Friends of Police, and local residents.
The walk began from Shaheen Chowk and concluded in front of the National Defence University (NDU), where participants highlighted the harmful effects of drug use and emphasised the collective responsibility to protect youth from addiction.
The spokesperson said the objective of the awareness walk was to strengthen cooperation between Islamabad Police and educational institutions, and to directly engage students in efforts to prevent drug abuse in campuses and surrounding areas.
In his message, IGP Rizvi said the campaign “Nasha Ab Nahi” is a collective movement requiring support from every segment of society, especially parents, teachers and students.
He added that Islamabad Police has already launched large-scale crackdowns against drug dealers, and strict legal action is being taken to dismantle networks involved in supplying narcotics to educational institutions.
“Drugs pose a serious threat to our society and our young generation. This fight demands unity and sustained effort from all stakeholders,” IGP Rizvi said.
