Travel and food were voted as the first and second best addictions on the inaugural day of ‘Puthulahariyilekku Oru Vote’, an anti-addiction campaign organised by the Kozhikode district administration at Holy Cross College at Nadakkavu in the city.
A vehicle named ‘Ballot on Wheels’ is travelling across college campuses in the district conducting an ‘election’ in which several addictive factors, including food and travel have been enrolled as ‘candidates’.
The ‘Ballot on Wheels’ was rolled out on Friday from St. Xavier’s College at Eranhipalam, where District Collector N. Tej Lohit Reddy flagged it off. He also handed over a torch to college principal Varghese Mathew. The vehicle will travel throughout the district connecting select colleges, other educational institutions, and major tourist destinations, to create awareness against drugs.
