The Hubballi-Dharwad police department and district administration continue their efforts to raise awareness about drug abuse and traffic safety. At the Police Run Marathon-2025, Deputy Commissioner Divya Prabhu GRJ urged youth participation in making the twin cities crime-free.
“This initiative should not be limited to a single day. Real change happens when awareness translates into action at both individual and societal levels,” she emphasized. She commended the police department for its effective crime control, noting a decline in criminal activities.
Organized by the police commissionerate and district police, the marathon received enthusiastic participation from youth groups. Police Commissioner N.
