Apart from Women empowerment, the Minister emphasized on ending the substance abuse amongst children in Delhi. “Substance abuse has become a major problem in Delhi. Teenagers and young adults are the most prone to it. There is an urgent need for an awareness campaign to tackle this problem in Delhi.
