The Story in Brief
Hubballi-Dharwad Deputy Commissioner of Police Shruti N.S. on Sunday urged students to practise meditation daily to control their minds and avoid drug addiction. She said a large number of criminals are addicted to intoxicating substances. The event, ‘Nasha Mukt Yuva, Viksit Bharat’, was held at Utsav Hall of JSS College in Dharwad.

Organisers included MY Bharat Centre, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Janata Shikshana Samiti, and Sri Kumareshwar Cultural Society. Samiti secretary Ajit Prasad said excessive mobile phone use has become a form of addiction, causing physical and mental stress. Resource person Shashidhar Narendra recalled Swami Vivekananda's message that discouragement is the enemy of success.
The Indian Opinion
The DCP's advice to tackle addiction via meditation alone sidesteps the harsh reality of drug abuse in Karnataka. This narrative of easy self-control ignores the need for robust enforcement, rehab centres, and job creation. The real test is whether the police will bust the supply chains, not just preach to students.
