Lieutenant Governor Launches Major Campaign Against Drug Abuse and Narco-Terrorism in Srinagar Thousands marched together, sending a clear message to defeat drug addiction and narco-terrorism. People’s movement carries promise of a future where J&K stands free from the grip of drugs: LG It is also promise of every teacher who has witnessed talent and potential fade into silence. Determination to uproot drugs is not only a declaration from administration but it is collective resolve of people, who, after enduring decades of suffering, have risen to say: enough is enough: LG Sinha Active participation of the people is unshakable force capable of defeating the enemies’ assault through narco-terrorism. Drug traffickers and their networks have targeted our youth. We have taken a solemn oath that we will never allow them to succeed: LG Lieutenant Governor called upon people to come together to build a Jammu Kashmir, where no child is lost to drugs, no family is broken by addiction, no community suffers under drug traffickers, and every resident of the UT thrives in health and strength This is the vision we pursue, the dream we must fulfil, and the legacy we owe future generations.

Between April 11 and May 2, the Jammu and Kashmir divisions together recorded 481 FIRs in just 21 days. During this period, 518 drug smugglers and peddlers were sent to jail, while 24 houses, which were proceeds of crime, were demolished and property worth crores was seized. Kashmir alone accounted for 26 of these attachments. In addition, authorities have recommended the cancellation of more than 300 driving licences: LG Sinha Across the region, cancellation of 325 vehicle registrations has been recommended. Nearly 3,000 drug stores were inspected, leading to 107 license suspensions and one FIR. These figures highlight how police and civil administration, backed by public cooperation, are enforcing a strict “Zero Tolerance to Drugs” policy aimed at dismantling the supply chain completely: LG
