that people don't resort to taking drugs as a means to alleviate their suffering," says Ehsan Bayat,
Chairman of the Bayat Foundation. "We need to reach out and promote awareness about this drug
menace and embark together on a journey of solidarity and togetherness to combat this collectively. It
will benefit everyone."
