Srinagar, April 21 Police in J&K’s Budgam district said on Tuesday that they have intensified the anti-drug campaign across the district.
A police statement said that, as part of the ongoing 100-day Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, District Budgam witnessed a series of impactful awareness activities across multiple sectors, reaffirming its commitment towards building a drug-free society.
A wide range of programmes, including rallies, plantation drives, school-based competitions, and door-to-door awareness campaigns, were conducted across the district.
Municipal Committees, educational institutions, and various departments actively participated in organising these initiatives, ensuring broad-based community outreach.
Rallies were held at several locations, drawing enthusiastic participation from students, officials, and local residents, who raised slogans and carried messages highlighting the harmful effects of substance abuse.
Plantation drives were also organised, symbolising a collective commitment to nurturing a healthy, sustainable future.
In educational institutions, competitions and awareness sessions were conducted to sensitise students about the dangers of drug addiction and the importance of making informed life choices.
Door-to-door campaigns further strengthened grassroots outreach, with teams engaging households directly to raise awareness and encourage community vigilance.
The coordinated efforts of multiple stakeholders, including field functionaries and local bodies, underscored the importance of collective responsibility in addressing the issue of substance abuse.
These initiatives not only enhanced public awareness but also encouraged active participation in the mission to make Budgam drug-free.
The district administration reiterated its resolve to sustain the campaign's momentum through continuous engagement, awareness drives, and inter-departmental coordination, ensuring that the objectives of the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan are effectively realised at every level.
J&K Police and the security forces have been carrying out aggressive anti-smuggling operations across J&K.
It is believed that, in addition to trying to destroy the youth, the objective of drug smugglers is to generate funds that are finally used to sustain terrorism in J&K.
