GAIBANDHA, June 8, 2018 (BSS)-Speakers at a function here on Thursday
observed that imam and khatibs of mosques could play a vital role in creating
mass awareness about the bad impacts of narcotics and building a drug free

problems in families and society as well,” they said.

They made the comments while addressing an anti-narcotics mass awareness
