DRIVE AGAINST DRUG ABUSE


DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION OATH

Drug addiction is a problem that is increasing in our society. Today there is an ever increasing tendency amongst the youth for trying something new or doing something that their friends are doing. This often takes them to the path which leads them either on the doorstep of depression or to serious health problems.

Drug addiction can terribly hinder and restraint us from accomplishing our goals and dreams in life. People sometimes feel that they are too bright, too powerful, and too formidable to control to become addictive. Addiction can trap anyone. It can cause harm to one's body and also lead to problems in the family. Delinquent behaviour in the society is also another consequence. The sooner people seek help for drug addiction problems, the more chances they have of gaining control of their lives. However, abstinence is the safest way to live a longer and healthier life.

As part of the Anti-Drug Drive, an initiative of the Hon’ble Capt. Amarinder Singh, Chief Minister of Punjab, the Army Institute of Law, Mohali conducted an oath taking ceremony on the occasion of Shaheed Bhagat Singh’s Martyrdom Day.

Tavish Gurung (V Year) enlightened the students on the problem of Drug Abuse and how it is affecting the youth of the country, particularly in the State of Punjab, and how we as students can take steps to ensure that the Youth of this country stays away from such vicious practices and contribute effectively in the development of the country, rather than being a liability.

The Oath was administered by Gaurav Hooda (IV Year), where everyone pledged that they will help in curbing the problem of Drug Abuse. That they will themselves not indulge in the same and also discourage others, who have been a victim of this social evil. Students were also encouraged to become Drug Abuse Prevention Officers (DAPO) and get themselves enrolled with the nearest district offices, as part of the Anti-Drug Abuse Drive Programme. 

“Believe you can, and you’re halfway there”

Wishing you a healthy and blissful life. Stay safe, stay happy and above all stay healthy.

ON REVAMPING THE INDIAN POLICE

It is the inbred duty of the state to provide for a non-partisan and efficient police authority that will facilitate in shielding the interests of the people. ‘Police’ being a state subject under the Constitution of India, the onus falls upon the state government to provide for a streamlined police force. Quite a few years have passed since the prominent judgement of the Supreme Court in the case of Prakash Singh v. Union of India [1] on police reforms exhorting the central and the state government to modify the police system making it more people centric than ruler centric but the ground reality seems to be unvaried. During our colonial time people had a fear of Police owing to the fact that the very fabrication of colonial police is based on wariness, and the image associated with it was robust but now that fabrication needs to be reviewed. Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing the 49th Annual Conference of Director General of Police and heads of all Central police o...
