The fight against Chitta in Himachal will no longer be limited to police action, raids and arrests alone. Now the creative power of social media will also be used as a weapon in this social fight. The police want that the social media which is being used by the youth for entertainment and gaining popularity, should launch a campaign of awareness against drugs from the same platform, whose impact will directly reach the youth and their families. With this thinking in mind, Himachal Pradesh Police has started a new initiative named 'Create with HP Police'.
Under this initiative, now the youth, students, common citizens and social media content creators of the state will join hands with the police to spread the message of Chitta-free Himachal. For this, the police has invited original photos, reels and videos from the people.

The special thing is that it is not necessary to be a big social media influencer or a popular face to participate in this campaign. Any citizen can become a part of this campaign through his creativity and ideas.
Attempt to make police message a mass movement
The police have started this initiative to make the Chief Minister's anti-Chitta mass movement more widespread. Its objective is to give the awareness efforts going on at government and police level against drug addiction the form of a mass movement with the participation of common people.
In fact, social media has become an important part of the lives of youth today. Through reels and short videos, a message can reach thousands of people in no time. The police want to use this influence to highlight the ill effects of drug addiction and motivate the youth to stay away from drugs.
Through this initiative, the social media platforms of the police will not be limited to giving only information about departmental information, crimes and police action, but there is a plan to develop them as a platform for social awareness and public participation.
