The Hubballi-Dharwad police are stepping up their efforts to protect young citizens from illegal substance abuse across the twin cities.
The department launched a direct outreach drive across multiple local schools and colleges yesterday afternoon. Officers spoke plainly with large student gatherings to address the devastating impact that narcotics have on physical health, mental well-being, and future professional careers.
The interactive sessions actively guided students on how to protect their personal peer groups from falling into dangerous addiction traps.
Top police personnel emphasized that building a highly secure future requires aggressive vigilance and early prevention steps. School administrations welcomed the field teams warmly, acknowledging that teenagers remain the prime target for local drug peddlers looking to expand their network.

How can you report illegal drug activity?
The entire campaign centered heavily on teaching young citizens how to report suspicious operations around their educational campus safely. Law enforcement officers urged anyone who notices unusual drug-selling or consumption activities to immediately dial the emergency helpline number 112. Informing the control room instantly allows police units to launch rapid interventions before the illegal activity spreads further into the neighborhood.
Every single detail shared through this emergency reporting channel stays completely anonymous to guarantee total safety for student informants. Police units explained how the centralized helpline routes emergency calls to nearby patrol vehicles within minutes for swift action. The department is aiming to turn everyday college students into responsible eyes and ears for the local administration.
