SRINAGAR: To educate students, especially youth, a day-long seminar  was organized by Cultural Unit Kashmir, Department of Information and Public Relations at Middle School Pethmakhama with the support of concerned School Administration. Students spoke  about the ill effects of drugs. In their speeches, the students said that at present our society is badly affected by the rapid spread of substance abuse.

Current data about the drug abuse in our society is alarming where children, young, old even women,  are affected directly or indirectly, they added. On the occasion, an impressive Luke Pather was presented by Alamdar Luke Pather Centre Bamrada in a traditional way which tried to communicate the students about the disastrous effects of drugs and the miserable life of the affected families.
