SRINAGAR, Apr 12: The Jammu & Kashmir High Court Bar Association, Srinagar Kashmir, and the Kashmir Advocates Association have formally endorsed the 100-day “Nasha Muqt Jammu Kashmir Abhiyaan,” a mass movement launched by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on April 11, 2026, to eradicate drug addiction and trafficking from the Union Territory.
In a press release issued from the High Court Complex in Jehangir Chowk, the two legal bodies described the initiative as a timely and decisive intervention that would protect the future of the region’s youth and restore its social fabric. The associations stated that they firmly believe the campaign will prove to be a game-changer for Jammu & Kashmir.
The release, signed by Waseem Gul, President of both the High Court Bar Association and the Kashmir Advocates Association, extended full and unconditional support to the Lieutenant Governor’s leadership. The legal fraternity of Kashmir, the statement said, stands shoulder to shoulder with the administration in what it called a noble cause. The associations committed to actively participating and contributing in every possible manner to ensure the drug menace is completely eradicated from Jammu & Kashmir, adding that the campaign should also serve as a model for the rest of the country.
The press release further appealed to all members of the Bar, civil society, youth, parents, teachers, religious leaders, and concerned citizens to actively join the campaign and make the Nasha Muqt JK Abhiyaan a grand success. No specific operational details of the legal community’s participation were disclosed in the release, but the endorsement signals a unified front from the region’s lawyers behind the government’s anti-narcotics drive.
The 100-day campaign, launched just one day prior to the bar association’s statement, represents one of the most intensive anti-drug efforts undertaken by the J&K administration in recent years. With the legal community now openly backing the movement, authorities are expected to move forward with enhanced institutional support from the judiciary’s local leadership.
