Kalaburagi Police launch ‘Beda Bro’ and ‘Operation RISE’ anti-drug awareness campaigns
The Kalaburagi police have launched 'Beda Bro' and 'Operation RISE' to combat drug trafficking and addiction in the district. The campaigns focus on public awareness, community reporting, and discouraging youth from drug use.
Why it matters
Local law enforcement initiatives are increasingly using community-based awareness to address the rising social and health impacts of narcotics.
The Kalaburagi City and the district police on Monday launched the “Beda Bro” and “Operation RISE” anti-drug awareness campaigns to strengthen efforts against drug use, trafficking and sale of narcotic substances across the district.
The campaign was inaugurated at the City Police Commissioner’s office with the release of campaign posters by Police Commissioner S.D. Sharanappa, Deputy Commissioners of Police Shalu and Praveen Nayak, and Superintendent of Police Adduru Srinivasulu, here on Monday.
The initiative follows the State-level launch of “Operation RISE” by the Chief Minister and the Home Minister during the observance of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on June 30. As part of the drive, the Kalaburagi police have rolled out the twin campaigns to promote a drug-free society and encourage public participation in preventing narcotics-related crimes.
