He said narcotics valued at nearly Rs. 3 crore have been seized and about Rs. One crore worth of movable and immovable properties were attached.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProperties of drug smugglers have been demolished. 187 driving licenses and four vehicle registrations have also been cancelled. Financial investigations have been initiated against 48 drug peddlers. Drug and chemist shops have been inspected, and 15 drug store licenses have been cancelled. Drug users have been referred to de addiction and rehabilitation centres and Counselling has also been extended to drug users,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n<p>The Lieutenant Governor also observed that 1,947 women committees have been established across districts in the Jammu division since the beginning of the campaign on 11th April and with the support of mothers and sisters, this cancer in society will be cured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must build a historic movement, one that rises from homes, schools, mohallas, and communities; a movement that begins with open, honest dialogue in towns and villages. Mothers and sisters are the moral bedrock of our society and with their help we can win this battle,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor said that over two dozen drug traffickers have already been identified and they will be tracked down and held accountable. He said in the Jammu division, thousands of peddlers remain under surveillance, and each one will be relentlessly pursued until they are apprehended and brought into custody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecurity checks have been stepped up around schools, colleges, and other vulnerable areas. I want to make it absolutely clear that those who engage in the grave crime of poisoning the future of our youth through drug trafficking will face the harshest consequences under the law,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n<p>The Lieutenant Governor also drew attention of police and all enforcement agencies to the fact that drug traffickers and terrorists operate hand in hand and they should be treated as allies in crime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur response should be decisive, thorough, and unyielding. Every route drug smuggler exploit should be watched, every financial chain should be dismantled, and every asset stripped away until their networks are completely destroyed,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor observed.<\/p>\n<p>The Lieutenant Governor said that for over a decade, Jammu Kashmir has carried the heavy silence surrounding the menace of drug abuse and this historic people\u2019s movement was launched to shatter that silence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith collective strength we must raise society\u2019s voice against the scourge of narcotics. Drugs are a wound in the heart of our society. To heal this wound, we require a people\u2019s movement that mobilises the full strength of society to eradicate drugs at their roots. The \u201cNasha Mukt J&amp;K\u201d campaign also serves to remind us that among the strongest pillars of society are the rule of law, constitutional values, the ethic of duty, and a spirit of Jan Bhagidari,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n<p>The Lieutenant Governor asked the NGOs, social workers and spiritual leaders to join the campaign in large number in cities and villages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSocial organizations, spiritual leaders, and educators are the frontline guardians of this mission. I firmly believe that through their leadership, hope can be rekindled and society renewed. The full strength of the government and the community stands beside them,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.
