Every rupee spent on drugs fuels extremist violence, and narco-terrorists survive on that blood money. By halting the drug trade, we cut off the lifeline that sustains terror networks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want people of Jammu Kashmir to remember that this is not only a public-health struggle, but also a fight for national security. When we choke off drug smuggling, we weaken those who seek to destabilize our nation, spill the blood of innocent people of J&amp;K, and divert our youth from the path of progress,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Lieutenant Governor highlighted that for many years Jammu Kashmir endured attacks on the society by narco-terrorists. \u201cUnder the leadership of PM Modi and the guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Nasha-Mukt Bharat Initiative launched in 2020 marked the turning point,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis campaign (Nasha Mukt J&amp;K) belongs to the people. Parents, teachers, religious leaders and young volunteers have stood shoulder to shoulder with the administration. The road ahead is long. The fight against drugs will take sustained effort, constant alertness and unity. We must remain steadfast. We must encourage our young people, protect our families and strengthen our communities,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I STAND BEFORE YOU AS A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He said that 51-days ago people of Jammu Kashmir kindled a spark of change and with massive participation of the people that spark in Jammu Kashmir has become a fierce flame of hope, courage and resolve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stand before you not only as your Lieutenant Governor but as a member of your family who shares your pain, your struggles, and your dream of a safe, empowered and drug-free Jammu Kashmir. In 2021, I pledged a fear-free and drug-free Jammu Kashmir so that the shadows of drugs and terror that once loomed over our youth can be banished entirely. I can say with confidence today that the chains that once trapped our youth in the dark web of drugs are breaking apart, link by link, day by day.<\/p>\n<p>IN 51 DAYS WE CARRIED COORDINATED OPERATIONS<\/p>\n<p>Over the past 51 days we have carried out extensive, coordinated operations against narco-terrorists and drug traffickers. With a whole-of-government approach we are dismantling networks that had become entrenched. Raids have targeted drug smugglers and drug peddlers in villages and towns, supply chains have been broken, and narco-terrorists have been exposed,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n<p>It is pertinent to mention that 923 FIRs have been registered against drug traffickers in the last 51 days. More than 1,000 drug smugglers and peddlers have been arrested, over 55 traffickers have been detained under PIT-NDPS provisions, 668 driving licenses have been cancelled, and recommendations have been made to revoke 124 passports. The Lieutenant Governor said that the fight against drugs is not limited to raids and arrests but the administration is also working on breaking the supply chain, generating public awareness and working towards the dignified rehabilitation for those suffering from addiction.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018WILL ENSURE YOUTH ARE FREED FROM GRIP OF ADDICTION\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will ensure our youth are freed from the grip of addiction, return to the mainstream of society, and become the strength that will lead Jammu Kashmir toward a brighter tomorrow,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n<p>The Lieutenant Governor said rehabilitation infrastructure across Jammu and Kashmir would be expanded and assured that modern de-addiction and rehabilitation centres would be established in every district at the earliest. \u201cThe rehabilitation centres have to be expanded and the best facilities must be made available in every district as soon as possible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>LG Sinha said the administration has framed a rehabilitation policy after consultations with experts from across the country to ensure proper treatment, emotional support and social reintegration for recovering addicts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to save the lives of those affected by addiction, both emotional and material support are necessary and every possible effort has to be made,\u201d he said.
