Osmania University
Osmania University: City Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar on Sunday addressed a group of more than 1,000 students from the historic Arts College building, Osmania University, as part of the campaign to fight against drugs.
Addressing the students, he said, "You are the powerhouse of this country. The future generations will follow you. So, it is very important for every one of you to not to indulge in any kind of illicit activities, such as consuming drugs, ganja, charas and other banned substances."
He added, "Though Hyderabad is better than Delhi and Mumbai with regard to consumption of drugs, we have to be alert and not get addicted to such drugs. Apart from that, competition has grown tremendously as world is now a global village. Many international companies are coming to India, investing and offering jobs. So, it's very important that every student maintain the competitive edge to survive and thrive in society rather than getting addicted to bad vices."
The programme was attended by varsity Vice-Chancellor Prof D Ravinder and also the MLAs of Uppal and Amberpet. All of them urged the students to not to fall prey to drugs. If anyone was found consuming or getting addicted, then it was the responsibility of friends or roommates to alert the university and college authorities,they said.
