Mika Singh Teams Up With Delhi Police For Anti-Drug Awareness Event
On Sunday evening, the iconic India Gate witnessed an electrifying performance by popular singer Mika Singh, as part of a special event organised to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. With his high-energy stage presence and hit songs like 'Sawan Mein Lag Gayi Aag' and 'Meri Umar Ke Naujawano', Mika had the crowd singing and dancing along.
A united stand against drug abuse
The event was spearheaded by the Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) in collaboration with Delhi Police, aiming to spread awareness about the importance of a drug-free India. Enthusiasts from across age groups and backgrounds came together to support the cause. Along with the live concert, attendees also witnessed impactful nukkad naataks (street plays), pantomime performances, and an inspiring art exhibition -all crafted to highlight the harmful effects of substance abuse.
Why this day matters?
Observed globally on June 26, the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is a United Nations initiative that aims to strengthen action and cooperation in achieving a world free of drug misuse. The day encourages communities, governments, and youth to take a stand against addiction and promote healthier, more informed lifestyles.
Events like these prove that powerful messaging doesn’t always need somber tones. Through music, theatre, and art, the initiative managed to spark conversations and inspire action in an engaging way. Mika Singh's dynamic presence added star power, drawing in larger audiences and reinforcing the message: Say no to drugs, say yes to life.
A growing movement
Across India, similar awareness programs, school drives, and youth rallies are being held to educate people on the physical, mental, and social consequences of drug addiction. The goal is to empower individuals, especially the younger generation, with the tools and support they need to lead healthy, drug-free lives when it can feel easy to escape the reality and easily get under the influence of substances.
