J&K: Srinagar music group to host concert to make youth aware about the ill-effects of drugs

Srinagar: A music group in Srinagar has invited youngsters in the Valley to join a free concert at Tagore Hall in the city with an aim to aware them about the bad effects of drug consumption.

According to Bilal Ahmad, organiser of the programme, the main aim is to inspire the youth to spend time in productive activities like sports, music and art, and not turn to drug use, reports ANI.

“The theme is ‘Mehfuz Kashmir’ (Secure Kashmir). This is what we want for our youth– to be drug-free. We, Mizraab Academy, have organised this free event to inspire the young generation and remove the poison of drugs. Our focus is not just on music. It is on sports and arts as well. We want the youth to move away from drugs and involve themselves in good and productive things,” Ahmad told ANI.

Nasir Ali, a local resident, told ANI that he was glad that the academy had organised the show for the cause, as drug addiction numbers in the Valley were increasing due to unemployment and stress.

Shakir Ahmad, another performer, has expressed hope that an event like this one will help youth in the state.
