It will spread awareness about the types of drugs and ways of protecting oneself against drug addiction as well as Article 43 of the Anti-Narcotic Law, which spares addicts from legal punishment if they voluntarily hand themselves over to the police.
The campaign will be undertaken at World Trade Center, Al Arabi Center, Al Barsha Mall and Al Warqa City Mall between 8.30pm and 12pm.
