Launches campaign in Udhampur; joins Padyatra; flags off bike rally • No single authority can wage this battle alone • Every household must stand as vigilant bastion • Treat those trapped as sufferers, not criminals • Ensure rehabilitation restores dignity of addicts

Jammu, Apr 27: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday declared that in the war against drugs, unity will be the shield and resolve the weapon. He urged every citizen to recognise the Nasha-Mukt Jammu Kashmir Abhiyan campaign as a shared war against narcotics.

"In the war against drugs, unity will be our shield, resolve our weapon. Let us commit to shaping a Jammu Kashmir where young people carve free destinies, families remain whole, communities thrive strong, and aspirations blaze anew. We stand unwavering for our youth, for our future," the LG said, addressing the campaign in Udhampur. 

The Lieutenant Governor joined thousands of residents in a Padyatra and urged every citizen to recognise Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir Abhiyan as our shared war against narcotics. "Together we must win this battle. Jammu and Kashmir is now rising with renewed strength to reject the drug menace that corrodes our society. We vow to shield our youth from its grip. I assure the people that the spirit of our land will not be stifled. This is the hour for society to awaken, to fight and to prevail," he said.

Sinha said that no single authority can wage this battle against drug abuse alone; it must ignite within every heart. "Let every village, hamlet, and city of Udhampur become fortresses of resistance; let every household stand as a vigilant bastion. I call upon each resident to enlist as a warrior in this cause," he said.

Observing that every section of society must embrace the spirit of the Nasha-Mukt Jammu Kashmir Abhiyan, he said history should record that on April 27, the flame of hope, unity, and determination was kindled in Udhampur. "Every family must rise, ensuring that chronicles remember Udhampur's united stand, united fight, united triumph and a legacy of a narcotics-free tomorrow dedicated to nation-building."

The LG said that in the coming 83 days, society must reshape its perception and treat those trapped in addiction as sufferers who deserve compassion, not condemnation. "Rehabilitation must restore their dignity and reintegrate them into the community. Let collective energy drive the Drug-Free Jammu Kashmir campaign. Transform awareness into accountability and ensure public participation deepens and highlights the vital role of women and youth in leading this fight," he said.

Sinha said this war against the drug menace will unfold in phases, each demanding courage and devotion. "Awareness campaigns must enlighten families about drug addiction symptoms and the dangers of narcotics, reminding them that the threat is not distant but among us," he said.

On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor flagged off an anti-drug awareness bike rally and launched Mini-Olympics under the Nasha Mukt J&K Campaign. He handed over sanction letters to individuals recovered from substance abuse and felicitated the winners of the Nasha Mukt Ideas Championship.
