Muscles against drugs

GANGTOK, 26 June: The Sikkim State Body Building Association took out a rally, a first for the organisation, through the capital today with the aim of not just spreading awareness against drug abuse but also to encourage the youth to stay fit and healthy. 26 June is observed around the world as the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
More than 100 body builders and gym enthusiasts joined the rally. Representation came from all age groups, from young aspiring body builders to veterans of the field.
Perhaps as an enticement of what staying ‘clean’ and remaining fit could achieve, the rally had body-builders swagger through the streets in white vests and blue jeans. All of them also sported Red Ribbons endorsing their support for efforts to increase awareness on HIV/ AIDS.
