Srinagar, April 1: Provincial President of Apni Party’s Women Wing, Dilshada Shaheen on Saturday expressed deep concern over the rising drug menace and subsequent steep rise in crimes in Kashmir.
According to a statement issued by the party, Shaheen was addressing an extraordinary meeting of the women’s wing at the party headquarters in Srinagar.
The participants of the meeting had a thorough discussion over certain social issues including the growing drug menace in Kashmir and the incident of heinous crimes that occurred in the various areas of the Valley in the recent past.
While expressing concern over the growing social evils, Dilshada Shaheen said she feels saddened to see young boys and girls falling prey to the ongoing drug menace in the Valley.
“This is a matter of grave concern, and every responsible citizen must come forward to help out these victims.”
“Similarly, the recent crime incidents in which two women and a girl was killed have shaken all of us. Last month, we saw a heinous crime occurring in central Kashmir’s Budgam, wherein a murderer brutally killed a young woman and chopped her into multiple pieces”.
“These shocking incidents have sent shock waves in the entire society, and everyone is shocked over these occurrences.”
Sharing their perspective on these social issues, the participants emphasised that collective efforts are needed to curb the drug menace and the growing crime rate in society.
“Everybody in the society ought to play his/her role to get the society out of this mess. Every individual has a responsibility to contribute towards finding a solution to these social issues. It would be insane to remain silent or apathetic about these issues.” the participants said.
