Directs intensive drives to dismantle drug trafficking networks Reiterates ‘don't touch innocent, don’t spare culprit’ Says every section of society must join fight against menace

Jammu, Apr 09: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday chaired a high-level meeting to review preparedness for the upcoming 100-day intensive campaign under the Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir Abhiyaan, aimed at eradicating drug abuse from the Union Territory.

The campaign will be marked by a series of high-impact awareness programmes. The Lieutenant Governor will flag off a mega "Padyatra" from the MA Stadium, Jammu, on April 11, 2026, followed by a similar large-scale launch in Srinagar during the first week of May.

The Lieutenant Governor called for mass public participation of students and youth, NCC, NSS, Scouts & Guides, volunteers, civil society organisations, political parties, public representatives, and the general public to maximise outreach and awareness.

"The influx of drugs to the UT is part of a larger international conspiracy to jeopardise the future of the youth of Jammu and Kashmir. Every section of society must join this fight against the drug menace," the LG said.

He directed continuous and intensive drives to dismantle drug trafficking networks. "'Don't touch the innocent and don't spare the culprit' is our policy. We must identify the real victims of drug abuse and make committed efforts for their rehabilitation," he added.

The meeting also discussed the series of activities planned and the department-wise activity calendar prepared for the Nasha Mukt Abhiyan. UT and Divisional Level Committees have already been constituted for the effective implementation of the IEC campaign and action plan.

The Lieutenant Governor further directed that the campaign be made a Jan Andolan with active participation of people, and called for integration of public suggestions along with a feedback mechanism to make the campaign more impactful. The common public should also be encouraged to report drug abuse cases, he said.

The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, Special DG (Coordination) S.J.M Gillani, Principal Secretary Home Chandraker Bharti, Principal Secretary to Lieutenant Governor Dr Mandeep K. Bhandari, Commissioner Secretary Social Welfare Department Sarmad Hafeez, Divisional Commissioner Jammu Ramesh Kumar, IGP Jammu Bhim Sen Tuti, IGP Kashmir V.K Birdi, DIGs, Deputy Commissioners, SSPs, and other senior officials.
