Srinagar, May 3: The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, on Sunday launched a sweeping campaign against drug abuse and narco-terrorism in Srinagar, vowing strict action against offenders and emphasizing that “no one will be spared.”
According to officials, the initiative aims to significantly intensify efforts to dismantle drug networks operating across the Union Territory. The campaign, led by the administration, will involve coordinated action by law enforcement agencies, enhanced surveillance, and widespread awareness programmes to identify and act against drug peddlers and their support systems.
The move is part of a broader strategy by the Jammu and Kashmir administration to build a drug-free society and safeguard the region’s youth.
Addressing the gathering, Sinha described narco-terrorism—the alleged link between drug trafficking and cross-border militancy—as a major threat to both security and the future of young people in the region. He reiterated the administration’s commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against those involved in such activities.
He also called on civil society, community leaders, and youth to play an active role in steering individuals away from substance abuse.
Meanwhile, a large number of people participated in a padyatra against drugs at the TRC Football Stadium, which was flagged off by the Lieutenant Governor, reflecting growing public support for the anti-drug campaign.
