Presentations, awareness videos and quiz activities were part of the event, followed by an anti-drug pledge by the participants.
In another development, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between CBN and an unspecified entity. Approximately 50 opium cultivators and 40 CBN officers were sensitized about the harmful effects of drug abuse during this event.
Two Jan Sunwayi programmes were held at Neemuch and Mandsaur for the prompt and accessible redressal of grievances of opium cultivators. More than participants took part in these programmes, where their grievances and queries were heard diligently and addressed promptly.
Cultivators were also advised to remain vigilant against middlemen/intermediaries and to approach CBN directly for clarification and assistance.
