Just about a week after terming beer a “health drink”, Minister K S Jawahar said that Andhra Pradesh is fortunate that it doesn’t have pub culture. Speaking to the media on drug menace in Telangana, he said that not even one case has been registered in AP on drugs usage.
He also said that the government is taking measures to prevent marijuana cultivation in the Visakhapatnam Agency areas. The Minister also said that they will run campaigns in schools and colleges to create awareness on detriments of using drugs.
It may be noted that the actors and actress from Tollywood were already served notices under section 67 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act on Wednesday by the Special Task Force (STF) of the Telangana prohibition and excise department for substance abuse.
