"Wherever you see drugs, you will inform. You will not let Goa become 'Udta Punjab'," Chander exhorted the audience into making a pledge, while speaking at a rally organised on the occasion of International Day against Drug Abuse.

"The movie has shed light on a problem," Chander said after flagging off a marathon held on the occasion.
The officer, however, refused to elaborate on the drugs and narcotics scene in Goa, which is regarded as a popular destination for narco-tourism.
"We have booked many cases and wherever there was a complaint we will take action," Chander said, also refusing to comment on whether the drug use and availability scenario had increased or decreased in the state.
