In a letter addressed to the lawmakers, the Chief Minister highlighted the evils of substance abuse and sought the MLA's support for the government to effectively tackle this menace.

As part of a state-wide program, it has been planned to observe an awareness day on the dangers of drug abuse on August 11, he said in a release here.
The MLAs should participate in the awareness programs in their respective Assembly constituencies without fail, the Chief Minister urged.
