Stating that the elimination of drug addiction is crucial for the well-being of future generations, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday called for a campaign against issues like drug addiction. He said addressing a gathering at a programme during his visit at Vatsalya village in Vrindavan.
Reflecting on the success of the Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Haryana, the Chief Minister said that the number of daughters in Haryana has increased from 871 to 932. The target is to further raise this figure to 950. The Chief Minister offered heartfelt wishes for the coming year to saints and the public.
The Chief Minister said that the land surrounding Vrindavan is the birthplace of Lord Krishna, where the deity performed many wondrous feats. He then recalled Krishna's teachings in the Bhagavad Gita, delivered amidst the chaos of the Kurukshetra war. “The Gita explains how to live a meaningful life and captures the essence of human existence. Today, its message of karma and peace continues to resonate throughout the world,” he said.
