Himachal Pradesh Governor Acharya Devvrat on Tuesday asked representatives of various social organisations to come forward to eradicate drugs from the country and encouraged them to tap the energy of the youth in the development of the country.
He was addressing an event organised by the Arya Samaj Kharar at Shri Ram Bhawan here on Tuesday. Leading industrialists and philanthropists, including Lalit Bansal and Subodh Gupta, were among those who were honoured by the Governor on the occasion.
