According to a report from Greater Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has called for a intensified effort to dismantle drug-smuggling networks operating within the Union territory. Speaking at the University of Jammu during the launch of a documentary and exhibition focused on the 'Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan' (Drug-Free India Campaign), Sinha emphasized that these illicit networks are directly linked to narco-terrorism and pose a significant threat to regional peace and security.
Sinha highlighted the necessity of a coordinated, sustained approach to disrupt the supply chains fueling drug abuse. He noted that the administration has been building on the momentum of the 'Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir Abhiyan,' which was first launched in 2020. The Lieutenant Governor reiterated that the government remains committed to ensuring a secure and drug-free environment for the residents of the region.
The event at the University of Jammu featured a collage exhibition and a documentary screening aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of substance abuse. By linking the drug trade to broader security concerns, the administration is signaling a shift toward treating narcotics control as a critical component of its internal security strategy in Jammu and Kashmir.
