He has been relentlessly, selflessly & whole heartedly working towards the upliftment & betterment of the youth and against curbing the menace of drug addiction in the society. Says Aneel,“This day serves as a reminder to the global community in moving towards a society that deals with drug use from a health-centric and human rights approach.”

Aneel Murarka highlights the importance of engaging and partnering with the drug using community saying, “The government, law & police alone cannot take steps to control this menace. Their efforts need to be supported and matched by the concerted efforts from each & every individual in society by means of activities that promote awareness, and I’m striving towards working and building awareness among the youth and people which I believe can help reduce stigma and discrimination of drug users and most importantly help in their reintegration into society.”

On this International Day Against Drug Abuse, Aneel urges the youth to stand firm in their support towards anti-drug abuse and also to all the people esp. youth who are dealing with their struggle against drug addiction, he affirms,“Having faith & believing in yourself is the only way to win over this battle of drug addiction and stand victorious.”
