Awareness Pamphlets were then distributed to the people through the ward Gurkars.

The Campaign then continued with the play enacted by the members of ICYM. The play emphasized how a bright student got influenced by the wrong bunch of friends who were into drugs and how his academics and behavior were affected at home and in society. And how he lost his mother because of his changed behavior which made him attempt suicide. And then he was saved by his good friends who had earlier warned him to stay away from this addiction. The boy was later sent to counseling centers to get away from the addiction and to change his life for good.

The play was enacted again after the second mass as instructed by the parish priest, Fr.Ivan Michael Rodrigues.

Fr Sunil Praveen Pinto, parish priest of Delanthabettu church addressed the gathering.

At the end, Mr.Dilroy Mascarenhas, the member of ICYM, terminated the program.
