The EditorCyclothon for a Drug-Free Haryana Reaches Kaithal with Enthusiasm
On April 22, Kaithal will witness a powerful movement against drug abuse as the statewide Cyclothon promoting a “Drug-Free Haryana” enters the district. The event is part of a broader mission launched to unite youth and communities against substance abuse, and it has been welcomed with overwhelming public support.
A Statewide Campaign Gathers Momentum
Under the leadership of Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Deepak Babulal Karwa, the Cyclothon is traveling across Haryana with the goal of sparking a social revolution. Starting from Hisar on April 7, this journey has connected towns, cities, and villages, delivering one resounding messageโSay no to drugs.
As part of its scheduled route, the Cyclothon will enter Kaithal on April 22, beginning at village Pabnawa. Local MLA Satpal Jamba and BJP district president Jyoti Saini will welcome the cyclists with great enthusiasm.
Youth Lead the Charge with Enthusiasm
Thousands of cyclists from across the district, especially students and young adults, are expected to participate. The energy and excitement among the youth are palpable. Residents are eager to both welcome the cyclists and take part in the event themselves.
The Cyclothon will move through key areas such as Dhand, Pharal, Pundri, and Mundri, finally reaching the Kaithal Police Line by evening. The next day, April 23, the journey will resume at 7 AM, heading toward Chandana, Kelram, Bata, Kalayat, and Shimla village, before entering Jind district.
At every stop, the participants will be greeted warmly. Villagers and city dwellers alike are ready to stand with the riders and amplify the campaignโs message.
District Administration Fully Prepared
To ensure smooth execution, the district administration has made extensive arrangements. ADC Karwa held a coordination meeting at the mini-secretariat to brief all department officials. Every officer has been assigned specific responsibilities. Their role is to ensure not only smooth passage of the Cyclothon but also public safety and proper amenities.
Key instructions include:
- Panchayat officials must involve local sarpanches and residents.
- Education and Sports Departments are tasked with encouraging student participation.
- Police Department will ensure complete safety and traffic control.
- Health Department is to provide ambulances and a medical team along the route.
- Public Health Engineering Department will set up drinking water and sanitation points.
- Ayurvedic Department will conduct de-addiction yoga sessions on April 23 at the Police Line.
Officials are expected to ensure refreshments at every major halt. Volunteers and nodal officers will guide participants throughout the journey.
A Public Movement for a Healthier Tomorrow
This isn’t just a government event. Itโs a peopleโs movement. The Cyclothon aims to stir a wave of change by involving local communities, young minds, and civic bodies. Its goal is not limited to symbolic participation but to foster a real shift in mindset across Haryana.
Cycling through towns and villages, participants shout slogans, carry banners, and engage with locals. Their presence creates curiosity, which turns into awareness. For many, itโs a chance to reflect and commit to a healthier lifestyle free from addiction.
Digital Participation and Registration
To widen reach, citizens can register on the official campaign website:

The platform is open to all age groups. By registering, people become part of a larger mission to push drugs out of society. Schools, colleges, and social groups are actively promoting this drive.
A Journey with Purpose
According to ADC Karwa, this Cyclothon is part of a larger strategy to inspire a social transformation. The campaign wants to send a strong messageโnot just to users, but also to suppliers and enablersโthat society no longer tolerates substance abuse.
This mission is already showing impact. Villagers have started organizing local awareness camps. Youth clubs are sharing anti-drug videos and testimonials on social media. Community leaders are encouraging open discussions around the issue.
Public Response: Unity Against Addiction
The enthusiasm of the people is remarkable. In villages like Pabnawa and Kelram, residents have decorated roads and prepared cultural programs to honor the riders. Many school children are preparing posters and skits to highlight the dangers of drug addiction.
Local businesses, NGOs, and wellness groups are also supporting the cause. Refreshment stalls, awareness pamphlets, and public announcements have created a vibrant, united front.
A Movement That Must Continue
While the Cyclothon is symbolic, the real goal lies in sustaining this movement. Authorities are planning to continue similar drives, workshops, and school-based campaigns even after the Cyclothon ends.
To make Haryana truly drug-free, continuous effort is essential. This includes:
- Rehabilitation support for users
- Law enforcement against dealers
- Counseling programs in schools
- Parental guidance workshops
- Community-based monitoring and reporting
Conclusion: Pedaling Toward a Better Future
The Drug-Free Haryana Cyclothon is more than a rideโitโs a revolution on wheels. With people from all walks of life coming together, the campaign has become a shining example of unity for a noble cause.
By encouraging the youth to lead and the community to support, Haryana is setting a powerful example for the rest of the country. The message is simple but strongโDrugs destroy lives, awareness saves them.
So, as the Cyclothon passes through your town, donโt just watchโjoin in, support, and spread the word. Together, we can build a healthier, safer, and stronger Haryana.
