Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has launched the Nasha Mukt Abhiyaan in Jammu and Kashmir, a 100-day campaign aimed at eradicating drug abuse. During an awareness rally at Kathua stadium, he instructed the Jammu and Kashmir Police to compile a list of top drug peddlers and take action to dismantle their networks within 30 days. Sinha highlighted a new standard operating procedure that will revoke essential documents from smugglers, including passports and driving licenses, while also allowing for the confiscation of their assets under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. He called for the formation of a “women vigilance squad” from local self-help groups to monitor drug-related activities. Sinha stressed that a drug-free Jammu and Kashmir will require collective efforts, stating that the next three months will lay the groundwork for lasting change in the region. The campaign is designed in six phases, with the first month focused on awareness and mobilization, the second on community engagement, and the third on ensuring sustainability.
