| J&K Fights Narco-Terrorism | | | The ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyan has entered into a crucial phase as the tough action against the peddlers has driven home a point that people selling poison won’t be spared.
Addressing an anti-drug rally in North Kashmir’s Bandipora town LG Sinha reaffirmed his pledge that crackdown against narco-terrorists and drug smugglers will continue till the last smuggler is eliminated from Jammu and Kashmir.
Since the day the campaign has been launched, people have come forward in large numbers to support the steps being taken by the government to tackle the drug peddlers.
Drug abuse has emerged as one of the gravest social challenges confronting Jammu and Kashmir in recent years. The growing availability of narcotics has endangered countless young lives, weakened families, and created a serious threat to social stability. More alarmingly, the nexus between drug smuggling and terrorism has added a dangerous dimension to the problem. Money generated through narcotics is often used to fund activities aimed at disturbing peace and security in the region. Therefore, the anti-drug campaign is not merely a law-and-order initiative; it is also a battle to safeguard the future of Jammu and Kashmir.
The administration deserves credit for adopting a multi-pronged strategy to tackle the issue. Law enforcement agencies have intensified raids, seized large consignments of narcotics, attached properties of smugglers, and arrested those involved in the illegal trade. Such tough action has instilled fear among peddlers who once operated with impunity. Drug addiction is not only a crime issue but also a public health challenge. Many victims of addiction require medical treatment, psychological support, and social reintegration. Expanding rehabilitation centres, strengthening counselling services, and creating employment and recreational opportunities for young people are essential steps in ensuring lasting success.
Educational institutions too have a vital role to play. Schools and colleges must actively promote awareness about the harmful consequences of substance abuse. Sports, cultural activities, and skill development programmes can provide positive avenues for youth energy and creativity, steering them away from destructive habits.
The success of the Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyan ultimately depends on sustained efforts and collective responsibility.
The government’s tough stance against peddlers has undoubtedly created momentum, but society must remain vigilant and united. A drug-free Jammu and Kashmir can only be achieved when every citizen treats the fight against narcotics as a shared mission. |
