The Chief Minister said that human life is priceless. But many die prematurely due to disorderly and unhealthy lifestyle. In addition, many are victims of deadly diseases. Youth society is affected by deadly diseases like HIV due to ill effects of drugs. A healthy and disciplined life is the only way to stay away from this addiction.
