Jammu, Dec 14: Ajay Kumar Sadhotra, former minister and JKNC Additional General Secretary on Thursday emphasized the role of the National Conference Students Union (NCSU) in building a better future for Jammu and Kashmir. He urged them to come forward and play a vital role in eradicating the drug menace.
The NCSU will work closely with the party leadership to address this critical issue, Sadhotra said while chairing a meeting of NCSU at the Sher-e-Kashmir Bhawan here. The meeting was organized by Harsh Vardhan Singh, President of the NCSU, the party said in a statement.
At the beginning of the meeting, Harsh Vardhan Singh apprised the senior functionary of the party about the rising drug menace in the Jammu region. He expressed concern about the easy availability of drugs and the devastating impact it is having on students.
