Mukand Singh, whose father and grandfather sold 70 acres due to addiction to opium and liquor, said, “It’s a good step initiated by the local police. People will know how use of drugs ruins a family and one is forced to part with property and agriculture land. I am also running an organisation, Jagriti Sanstha, where drug addicts are taught yoga and meditation and are kept busy in religious discourses.”
A schoolgirl, Roshni, said it was a positive step taken by the police to check the drug menace and exemplary punishment should to given to drug peddlers. Another villager, Urmila Devi, said this step must be appreciated at the state level. She said after watching the film, they had decided not to allow drug peddlers to enter their villages.
Baragura police station incharge Ram Singh Bishnoi said the film was the initiative of SP Vikas Arora, who had issued directions to all police stations to target drug addicts. He added that village sarpanches were showing a keen interest in making arrangements for screening of the documentary film.
Superintendent of Police Vikas Arora, when contacted, said, “We have taken the help of Bollywood professionals such as Sanjeev Lakhanpal and the film has been written by Subhash Sharma. It took one year to complete the documentary film, which is titled “Nashe Di Maar”.
He added that it has been made mandatory for all police stations to screen this documentary film in drug-afflicted areas by involving distinguished people and village sarpanches.
