Leading the charge, the SFI kicked off its campaign on Monday by organizing a statewide human chain across all campuses where the students' union is under the outfit's control.

"After forming the human chain, the members pledged to abstain from drugs and actively contribute to eradicating this issue," P S Sanjeev, SFI state secretary, told TNIE.
