A large number of people joined the campaign by taking an e-pledge through the Drug-Free Tamil Nadu portal, officials said. As part of its anti-drug measures, the State government has established a specialised Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) with district-level branches to strengthen action against drug-related offences. The government has also launched the Drug-Free Tamil Nadu app, enabling students and teachers to anonymously report suspected drug-related activities in and around educational institutions. The Chief Minister urged students and the wider public to actively participate in these initiatives and help build a healthier, drug-free Tamil Nadu. Earlier, the State government sanctioned Rs 264.14 crore for the establishment of Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) units across TN.
