JAMMU, June 23: The Department of Students Welfare, University of Jammu, in collaboration with Narcotics Control Bureau, Jammu Zonal Unit, staged a ‘Nukkad Natak’ on the dangers involved in drugs consumption and also in its trade.
The play, in a very clear tone, warned about the outcomes of consuming drugs and   the pain it afflicts on its consumers, which is thousand times greater than the vicarious pleasure it offers.
K P Tiwari, Superintendent, Nar-cotics Control Bu-reau, Jammu Zonal Unit, was the chief guest at the occasion.  The show was witnessed by a large number of students (mostly from hostels) in presence of  Prof  Pankaj K  Srivastava, Dean Students Welfare, Prof  Rajiv Ratan, Provost Boys, hostel wardens Dr  Gurudev Singh and Dr  Sandeep, Sumeet Sharma, Drama Instructor, Ifra Kak, Cultural Officer and other officials from the University of Jammu and Narcotics Control Bureau.
The actors presented different situations where the menace of drugs has consumed the lives of its takers and its traders also. It is like a live bomb which will certainly explode, sooner or later that is a different issue. The only way to escape from it is to stay away from it and also prevent your dear ones to go near it, conveys the play.
Audience appreciated the content of the play and acting of the performers particularly the acting of Dilshad Saazi who grabbed the attention of the audience with his energetic performance.
Dean Students Welfare, Prof Pankaj K. Srivastava also interacted with the audience and informed that such awareness activities on different topics of concern will be a regular feature.
