Beant Singh Bhullar, a businessman from Punjab, and two of his closest friends have set out on a crusade against drug abuse in Punjab. With as many as 23 deaths reported from drugs in the state in the month of June, Bhullar was moved into action by the recent picture of a small child asking his dead father, who died due to drug abuse, to drop him to school. Bhullar, along with Manjinder Bhullar and Rupinder Singh Bhullar, started a ‘Drug Awareness March’ from Hussainwala, Ferozpur on Saturday on foot. They will march to the Chief Minister office in Chandigarh in a bid to meet Captain Amrinder Singh. With an increase in fatalities due to drug overdose, Bhullar has started a movement to make people aware of the repercussions of drug usage, not only on the health of the addict but the emotional turmoil his near and dear ones go through.
