Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India] May 19 : Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Thursday said that the youth and state governments will have to come forward to make 'Nasha Mukt Bharat'.
Thakur said that all will have to collectively fight against the menace of drugs.
While addressing youth in a program organized by the students of Hamirpur Students Association at Himachal Pradesh University he said that youth will have to take steps to eradicate the drugs from the state and country.
