Pankaj Tripathi extends his support to NCB on International day against drug abuse

Actor Pankaj Tripathi on Saturday pledged support to the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), on the occasion of International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. He says authorities from NCB Patna Zonal Unit have reached out to him for the cause.“ The authorities from NCB Patna reached out to me for this cause, and anything that is associated with Bihar and in public concerns, I personally have interest to lend my support for such campaigns and awareness creation drives," he says.

Pankaj says it is his social responsibility to fulfil his duty. “Cinema is one of the favourite mediums of the youth, and as an actor, if we initiate any awareness campaign it may reach out to maximum people, creating more impact. It’s a social responsibility for me as an actor and as a citizen to fulfil my duty as much as I can," he said. On the work front, Pankaj Tripathi  was last seen in Satish Kaushik’s film Kaagaz. He was also seen in the Hotstar Specials series Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors. He has two upcoming films in the pipeline- Kabir Khan’s sports drama 83 with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, and Farhad Samji’s Bachchan Pandey.
