🏃♂️🔥 GRAND SUCCESS – TORCH BEARING RUN AGAINST DRUG ABUSE, KALLAKURICHI 🔥🏃♀️
🇮🇳 Together for a Drug-Free Tamil Nadu!
With immense pride and happiness, the Indian Red Cross Society, Kallakurichi District Branch, successfully organised the Torch Bearing Run Against Drug Abuse on 11 October 2026 at Mandaveli Stage, Kallakurichi.
The programme was graced by our respected District Collector, Thirumathi J. E. Padmaja, IAS, and District Superintendent of Police, Thirumathi I. Shahnaz, IPS, who jointly flagged off the torch-bearing run and actively participated in the run alongside the torchbearers, demonstrating their strong commitment to the fight against drug abuse.
🔥 The torch-bearing initiative was started by Dr. S. Ponnarasu, District Chairman, Indian Red Cross Society, Kallakurichi District Branch, symbolising the beginning of a collective movement to protect our younger generation from the dangers of substance abuse.
The sight of our District Collector and Superintendent of Police joining the torchbearers sent a powerful message to society: the fight against drugs requires collective leadership, community participation, and the active involvement of every citizen.
❤️ We express our heartfelt gratitude to the district administration, police department, government officials, volunteers, youth, students, partner organisations, reporters and all participants who made this initiative a grand success.
🌟 This event was not merely a run; it was a pledge to safeguard our children, protect our families, and build a healthier future for Tamil Nadu.
Indian Red Cross Society, Kallakurichi District Branch, feel immensely proud to have initiated this meaningful movement. May the flame of awareness we carried continue to inspire every individual to stand against drug abuse.
🙏 Together, let us transform our message into action and our commitment into a lasting social movement.
❤️ SAY NO TO DRUGS | YES TO LIFE
🔥 Healthy Youth • Strong Nation
