Hyderabad: The police and citizens need to join hands to curb the drug menace, Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M Bhagwat said here on Tuesday.
He was speaking at a meeting with Excise officials, Mayors, Municipal Chairpersons, corporators and people’s representatives from the Rachakonda area.
