Ek Sath Rangmandal presents Anti-Drug Nukad Natak

Early Times Report

JAMMU, Sept 14: Continuing its uninterrupted weekly theatrical journey, Ek Sath Rangmandal today presented its 534th Monday Theatre performance, showcasing a brand-new, progressive street play (Nukad Natak) aimed at combating the rising menace of drug abuse in society.
The performance centered around the powerful bilingual slogan:
(“Stay away from addiction forever, live a full life of happiness”)
The primary objective of the street play was to escalate public awareness regarding the catastrophic impacts of substance abuse, while inspiring the community—especially the younger generation—to embrace a healthy, purposeful, and happy life.
The core message of the performance was straightforward yet profound: to achieve genuine comfort, peace of mind, and a fulfilling life, individuals must completely and unconditionally renounce all forms of addiction. By emphasizing the words “always” and “away”, the performance underscored that the fight against drug abuse is absolute and non-negotiable.
The play vividly illustrated how addiction strips an individual of their capacity to think, reason, and make rational decisions. It also highlighted the devastating physical and mental health consequences of substance dependency, linking it directly to serious medical conditions such as cancer, liver disease, and extreme psychological stress. The narrative made it clear that total abstinence is the only viable path to maintaining a healthy body and mind.
Through this performance, Ek Sath Rangmandal called for a paradigm shift in how society addresses substance abuse. The group advocated for transitioning from the historical, purely punitive “War on Drugs” model toward a unified, community-driven movement. This modern approach combines strict law enforcement targeting supply chains with deep social empathy for users. The play stressed that real systemic change happens only when society treats addiction as a public health crisis rooted in community hardships rather than an isolated criminal failure.
To build a true mass revolution, the script emphasized the need for public ownership and aggressive civic mobilization. It highlighted the importance of leveraging national initiatives like the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan through mass pledges, youth-led rallies, and grassroots educational drives to engage millions of citizens simultaneously.
