Srinagar, May 03: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday chaired a high-level meeting at Lok Bhavan to review the progress of the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir Abhiyaan and assessed district-wise action plans aimed at eliminating drug abuse and narco-terrorism, underscoring the need for a focused, time-bound, and result-oriented strategy over the next 78 days.

The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, DGP Nalin Prabhat, Principal Secretary Home Chandraker Bharti, Special DG Coordination S.J.M. Gillani, ADGP CID Nitish Kumar, Principal Secretary to Lieutenant Governor Dr Mandeep K Bhandari, IGP Security Sujit Kumar, Commissioner Secretary Social Welfare Sarmad Hafeez, Commissioner Secretary School Education Ram Niwas Sharma, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Anshul Garg, IGP Kashmir V.K. Birdi, senior officials of civil and police administration, and Deputy Commissioners and SSPs from the Kashmir Division.

The Lieutenant Governor called for more grassroots engagement at the Panchayat and Ward levels, urging active participation from community stakeholders, including religious leaders, educationists, traders, youth groups, and social and political activists, to turn the campaign into a sustained mass movement.

Sinha called for youth engagement through sports and recreational activities, directing Deputy Commissioners to develop playfields in all panchayats and strengthen sports infrastructure across districts. He directed regular organisation of sports competitions and youth engagement activities under the banner of the Nasha Mukt J&K Abhiyaan to enable young people to channel their energy into positive pursuits.

Reiterating the administration's zero-tolerance policy towards narcotics, the Lieutenant Governor called for strict and visible enforcement actions against those involved in drug trafficking. He emphasised the swift implementation of Standard Operating Procedures for cancellation or suspension of driving licenses, passports, and other documents of drug peddlers, and called for prompt identification and seizure of properties linked to narco-terrorists and drug smugglers.

Sinha further stressed intensified inspection of pharmaceutical shops to prevent misuse of prescription drugs and enhanced vigilance in and around educational institutions and vulnerable areas.

The Lieutenant Governor directed Deputy Commissioners to identify and take appropriate action against fake or unauthorised drug de-addiction and rehabilitation centres, ensuring that only certified institutions operate within the established regulatory framework.

Highlighting the importance of strengthening Mahila Samitis and Youth Clubs as vital community institutions, the Lieutenant Governor called for their effective functioning and active involvement in awareness campaigns, early identification of vulnerable individuals, and community-based monitoring mechanisms. He also directed utilising Block Diwas and Thana Diwas as platforms for addressing public grievances and strengthening trust between citizens and the administration.

The Lieutenant Governor further directed officers to take advance and comprehensive measures for the smooth conduct of upcoming major religious events, including the annual Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra and Muharram, emphasising the need to ensure adequate arrangements to facilitate the convenience and safety of the people.
