HOSHIARPUR: Punjab governor Gulab Chand Kataria on Sunday said the state government's "Yudh Nashyan Virudh" (anti-drug war) had become a mass movement as it was showing positive results. Talking to mediapersons on the sidelines of a function, he said the campaign sensitised people who were coming together to eradicate drug menace from the state.

Stating that collective efforts were needed to root out the problem, he exhorted all sections of society to participate in war against drugs.

"Everyone should understand their responsibility and lend their support to the anti-drug campaign," he said, adding that mere government efforts were not enough to wipe out the menace.
