The Naldanga Union Youth Jamaat hosted the program at the local Shaheed Minar premises at 3:00 PM on Friday, June 26.
A large number of local youth and community members participated, advocating the slogans: "Say no to drugs, build a healthy life" and "Build a drug-free society for a beautiful future."
Following a procession through the main port roads, participants gathered for a rally. Naldanga Union Youth Jamaat President Md. Abul Kashem presided over the event, which was moderated by Secretary Md. Nazmul Islam.
