LG Sinha Leads From The Front
7/16/2026 10:43:59 PM
Major crackdown against the drug peddlers across the Union Territory during the ongoing Nasha Mukht Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyan has sent a clear message that the people selling poison will be dealt with sternly.
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has led from the front and has been instrumental in making the campaign against narcotics a big success. He provided the momentum needed to sustain the anti-narcotics drive by chairing high-level review meetings and directing law enforcement agencies to intensify operations against drug syndicates.
LG Sinha led padyatras against the menace in all the 20 districts of the Union Territory and under his guidance, police and other enforcement agencies have launched coordinated operations across J&K leading to the arrest of numerous drug peddlers, seizure of substantial quantities of narcotic substances, attachment of illegally acquired properties, and dismantling of networks involved in trafficking.
What makes this campaign particularly effective is its emphasis on targeting the entire narcotics ecosystem rather than merely arresting individual offenders. The administration has focused on identifying suppliers, financiers, and organized networks that facilitate the illegal trade. Such an approach strikes at the roots of the problem instead of merely addressing its symptoms.
Equally important is the recognition that while traffickers deserve stringent punishment, victims of addiction require compassion and support. The government has strengthened de-addiction centres, counselling services, rehabilitation programmes, and initiatives aimed at the socio-economic reintegration of recovering addicts. This balanced strategy reflects an understanding that lasting success can only be achieved by combining enforcement with rehabilitation.
Public participation has also become a defining feature of the Nasha Mukht Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyan. Educational institutions, civil society organisations, religious leaders, parents, and local communities are increasingly joining hands with the administration to spread awareness about the dangers of drug abuse. Such collective action is essential because the battle against narcotics cannot be won by law enforcement agencies alone. Every citizen has a role in identifying suspicious activities, protecting vulnerable youth, and promoting healthy lifestyles.
The campaign also serves as a warning to those who view drug trafficking as an easy source of income. There can be no sympathy for individuals who profit by destroying the lives of others. The seizure of assets acquired through the narcotics trade sends a powerful signal that crime will not pay and that the long arm of the law will eventually catch up with offenders.
The success of the Nasha Mukht Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyan demonstrates that determined political will, effective leadership, and active public participation can together confront even the most complex social challenges.
