Himachal Pradesh governor Kavinder Gupta called for greater vigilance in tourist and border-connected areas while launching the Sankalp Rath Yatra, an anti-drug awareness campaign, in Kasauli on October 2, 2026. He said enforcement against traffickers should go hand in hand with treatment, rehabilitation and support from families, schools and communities.
What happened at the Sankalp Rath Yatra launch
Gupta launched the campaign in Kasauli, in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan district, on Friday, October 2. Hindustan Times reported the event the following day and named Uttishtha Bharat Sewa Trust as the organiser. A contemporaneous report by The Tribune also covered the launch, but spelled the trust’s name “Utishtha Bharat Sewa Trust”; the reports do not resolve the discrepancy.

The campaign was described as an anti-drug awareness effort. The reports do not state its route, schedule, duration, attendance or results, so the launch alone does not establish how far it will reach or what effect it will have.

Why Gupta called for vigilance
Hindustan Times quoted Gupta as saying: “There is a need for greater vigilance in tourist and border-connected areas so that drug trafficking does not affect the younger generation and the social identity of the region.” He also linked trafficking, in some cases, to organised crime and cross-border networks. Those are the governor’s reported concerns; the coverage does not provide data or case details demonstrating an increase in trafficking in these areas.

- ENDLESS POWER FROM SOLAR ENERGY: Just 45 minutes of direct sunlight powers the camera for a full day of use, while the built-in battery lasts up to 180 days on a single charge during cloudy days. Solar charging requires temperatures above 32°F.△
- EASY WIRE-FREE INSTALLATION: Place the Tapo SolarCam C402 KIT where you need it without relying on nearby outlets. Install the camera and solar panel together or separately using the included 13 ft cable for flexible placement.
- PRIORITIZE WHAT MATTERS: Set activity zones to monitor specific areas for motion or people. Free person and motion detection helps reduce unwanted alerts and notifies you when activity is detected.
- VERSATILE VIDEO STORAGE: Store footage locally via a microSD card (up to 512GB)* or via cloud with a Tapo Care cloud subscription. Tailor your security to suit your needs, whether indoor or outdoor, you have the storage option you need.
- FULL-COLOR 1080P, DAY AND NIGHT: See clearly in low light with a large-aperture lens and built-in spotlights. Capture full-color night vision up to 30 ft away to monitor for possible intruders or motion.
His proposed response combines enforcement and support
Gupta’s reported approach was not limited to policing. He called for firm action against traffickers and organised crime, alongside treatment, rehabilitation and social reintegration for people affected by drug abuse. The distinction matters: enforcement targets trafficking and criminal activity, while health and community support address people who need help.
He also urged parents and teachers to notice behavioural changes in children, listen patiently and offer support. A change in behaviour by itself does not establish drug use; his appeal was for attentive, supportive engagement, not a diagnostic checklist.
