Agartala, Dec 28: The Khowai district administration in Tripura has launched a sports campaign aimed at raising awareness about drug abuse and social issues among the youth. The initiative, named “Khowai says YES to life”, seeks to engage young people through various sports events while promoting healthy lifestyles and social consciousness.

As part of the campaign, participants in football, volleyball, and cricket matches will undergo health screenings, including tests for infectious and lifestyle diseases. Additionally, audio and video messages highlighting the dangers of drug abuse will be shown during the events to further educate the public.

The campaign kicked off with a football match at Dakshin Maharani Village Committee premises in Khowai’s Mungiakami Block. The inaugural event saw strong participation, with around 30 youths taking the opportunity to get their blood tested. Khowai District Magistrate, Chandni Chandran, expressed hope that the initiative would help combat drug abuse and bring positive changes to the community.

Chandran also announced that more sports events will be organized in the coming weeks, with the goal of reaching more youths for health screenings. The data collected will assist the health department in implementing preventive measures.
