Moga, April 21 – As part of the Punjab Government’s “Yudh Nashiyan Virudh” campaign, the district administration Moga is providing skill training to drug addicts admitted in the Government Drug De-addiction Centre Janer near Moga.

The district administration is dedicated to supporting the youth of the district and will provide loans and other necessary assistance to trainees. Trainees, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed gratitude to the Punjab Government, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, and the district administration for providing this opportunity, stating they are happy with the training and plan to start their own work after completing treatment to live with dignity in society.
