Canbolat: Combating drugs is everyone’s responsibility

Governor Canbolat said the fight against drugs extends beyond the work of law enforcement.

Taşkın’s visit also drew attention to the press’s responsibility in covering social issues.

Drug addiction directly affects society’s future. The press can help by reporting accurately, raising awareness and bringing prevention efforts to public attention.

Cooperation between law enforcement, education and civil society

Governor Canbolat stressed the need for a coordinated response to drug addiction.

University research, community work by civil society organisations, law enforcement and media awareness efforts can complement one another.

The meeting at the Governor’s Office underscored the importance of that shared responsibility.
