Mumbai, June 26 - Cricket maestro Sachin Tendulkar is now asking the youth to shun drugs.
Messages and posters endorsed by Tendulkar have been displayed on local trains and railway stations, according to Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director Yashodhan Wanage.
Sunday is the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
