Saarthi scheme

August 4, 2023

The Nurpur police and the local administration have launched the “Saarthi” scheme as a pilot project in the subdivision to check drug menace and sensitise people about its ill effects.
The scheme is a multi-faceted exercise being launched with the coordination of local administration, police and the health department along with active community participation.
The police will do contact tracing of drug peddlers and drug addicts and then inputs about addicts will be passed on to a designated counsellor, who will help them to come out of the mess.
The database created with community participation will be used to initiate appropriate measures to tackle the drug menace.
