Say No to Drugs: T'wood stars amplify CM's pledge
The Telangana Government intensified its anti-drug efforts on Thursday, hosting an event at Shilpakala Vedika to mark International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. Leading the charge were actors Ram Charan , Vijay Deverakonda, and producer Dil Raju, chairman of the Telangana Film Development Corporation, who all spoke out against drug abuse. The stars and other participants took a collective pledge, reinforcing the call for a drug-free society. As a parent, I am worried to send my daughter out in the future: Ram Charan Ram Charan shared that he never imagined that there would be a day dedicated to fighting drug abuse. He drew upon his childhood memories of having soda and popsicles by the roadside and voiced his concern over how those same spots have become sites where children are unknowingly exposed to harmful substances. He said, 'I wasn't a parent back then, so I didn't understand it. But today, as a parent, even though my child is being homeschooled, I am worried about sending her out in the future.
