Doctors credit Nasha Mukt Abhiyaan for improving awareness, treatment and reducing stigma. Srinagar, Jun 26: Jammu and Kashmir's fight against substance abuse has received a significant boost under the Nasha Mukt Abhiyaan, with health experts saying the multi-pronged campaign has strengthened prevention, treatment, awareness efforts across the valley. According to official figures, the Drug De-Addiction Centre at SMHS Hospital, GMC Srinagar, recorded a total of 112,628 OPD visits between April 2025 and March 2026, including 1,664 new patients and 110,964 follow-up visits. The figures said that during the same period, the facility also registered 261 inpatient (IPD) admissions, reflecting the growing demand for de-addiction and rehabilitation services. In the subsequent shorter period from April 2026 to June 26, 2026, the center recorded 523 new OPD cases and 31,661 follow-ups, bringing the OPD total for those few months to 32,184, alongside 74 IPD admissions. Prof. Yasir Hassan Rather, Department of Psychiatry, IMHANS-K, GMC Srinagar said the Nasha Mukht Abhiyaan launched under the guidance of the Lieutenant Governor has strengthened fight against substance abuse by bringing together enforcement, healthcare, education, and community participation. He said alongside action against drug trafficking, there has been a greater emphasis on prevention, awareness, early identification, and treatment. At IMHANS-K, GMC, Srinagar, we have actively supported this mission by providing comprehensive de-addiction services to hundreds of patients daily, he said. The facility holds regular awareness and capacity building programmes for teachers, students, healthcare workers, Self Help Groups, religious leaders, and community stakeholders in association with district administration of Srinagar and other relevant departments like JKRLM, Education department etc. While the challenge remains substantial, doctors say the campaign has undoubtedly increased public awareness, reduced stigma, and encouraged more individuals and families to seek timely treatment On the occasion of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, observed on June 26, former Head of the Department of Psychiatry, GMC Srinagar, Prof. Maqbool Dar, highlighted the growing global and regional burden of substance abuse. Citing the 2023 United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) report, he said there are an estimated 316 million drug users worldwide, including 244 million cannabis users. Referring to studies conducted in Kashmir, Prof. Dar said heroin has emerged as the most commonly abused drug, particularly among young people. He attributed the rising trend of substance abuse to multiple factors, including unemployment, peer pressure, family conflicts, rapid urbanisation, broken families, and inadequate awareness about the harmful consequences of drug addiction. He urged parents to acknowledge the growing involvement of youth in substance abuse instead of remaining in denial. Stressing the importance of parental vigilance, he advised families to closely monitor their children's behaviour, maintain open communication, and seek professional help at the earliest signs of addiction. Prof. Dar emphasized that drug addiction is a treatable medical condition, and said that timely counselling and medical intervention can help individuals recover and reintegrate into society.
Women's T20 WC: When And Where To Watch Pakistan Vs Netherlands Clash, Know All Details
T20 World Cup: Aiming for a maiden ICC Women's T20 World Cup win, Netherlands face Pakistan in their final Group A game at the Bristol County Ground on Saturday with no hope of reaching the last four. The Dutch are competing in the Women's T20 World Cup for the first time and though they have succumbed to defeat three times so far they can end on a high, thanks to some inspired performances. For their part, Pakistan will be looking to avoid going home winless after being routed by India, South Africa and Bangladesh. The teams failure to handle spin consistently has put immense pressure on captain Fatima Sana, who has put in lonely efforts, first scoring 55 not out when the side was tottering on 50/8, before returning 3/16 against South Africa. Bristol has been good for batsmen and bowlers so far with new ball assistance being offered early in the piece before conditions become a little easier later on. While the more experienced Pakistan team will have an edge over the Dutch, who head into the clash unafraid. When: Saturday, June 27 at 3:00 PM IST Where: Bristol County Ground, Bristol Where to watch: The Netherlands vs Pakistan clash will be broadcast on Star Sports Network and live streaming on JioStar Squads: Where to watch: The Netherlands vs Pakistan clash will be broadcast on Star Sports Network and live streaming on JioStar Also Read: Live Cricket Score Pakistan Fatima Sana (c), Gull Feroza, Ayesha Zafar, Iram Javed, Eyman Fatima, Aliya Riaz, Natalia Parvaiz, Saira Jabeen, Muneeba Ali, Tuba Hassan, Rameen Shamim, Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu, Diana Baig, Tasmia Rubab Article Source: IANS
Women's T20 WC: Pakistan, Netherlands Eye Consolation Win To End Campaigns (Preview)
T20 World Cup: Already out of semi-final contention, Pakistan and the Netherlands will look to salvage pride when they meet in their final Group A fixture of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Bristol County Ground on Saturday. Having already been eliminated from the tournament, both teams have the opportunity to conclude their campaigns on a positive note. With the pressures off, this fixture could potentially be a lively encounter as both sides look to experiment with personnel and push for a final flourish in what has otherwise been a tournament to forget for them. After losing to India, South Africa and Bangladesh, they have struggled with both their top and middle order, who have consistently got to decent starts only to capitulate after failing to see off quality spin. The big bright spark in this Pakistan squad has undoubtedly been their captain Fatima Sana, who has led from the front in all aspects. She played a match-saving 55 not out against South Africa, rescuing the side from 50-8 at one stage, and her 3-16 proved her worth as an all-rounder again. She is expected to play a key role again as Pakistan look to finish on a high. They face The Netherlands, who are participating in the Womens T20 World Cup for the very first time. Also on three losses, the Dutch have shown sparks of promise despite their overall inability to gain a win. The Dutch captain Babette de Leede played a fighting half-century against Bangladesh, while a host of others, including Sterre Kalis, Caroline de Lange and Heather Siegers have produced eye-catching cameos. Playing against a brittle Pakistan bowling attack could be the opportunity they need to pick up a historic maiden World Cup victory. The tournament ground of Bristol has been somewhat of an equalizer between the two sides throughout with contributions seen from all departments of cricket. It has assisted both the bat and the ball, but the new ball has produced extra bounce early in the proceedings. The weather for the fixture is expected to be pleasant, which could lead to a tightly fought contest. Pakistan may edge this match considering their vast experience but if the Netherlands can strike early and find chinks in the Pakistan armoury, they stand a very good chance of ending their first appearance in this tournament with a fairy tale ending.

Apni Party Vows to Raise Farmers Issues, Seeks Measures to Revive Agriculture
Jammu, June 14: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Sunday said his party remains committed to safeguarding the rights, interests and livelihoods of farmers in Jammu and Kashmir and would work to ensure that their concerns are addressed effectively. Addressing a workers convention at Kotli Shah Doula in R.S. Pura, Bukhari said agriculture remains central to Jammu and Kashmirs economy and called for policy measures to protect agricultural land and support farming communities. Expressing concern over eviction drives and issues related to agricultural land, Bukhari said farmers in several areas have been facing distress and alleged that in some cases compensation has either not been paid or has not reflected prevailing market values. He also referred to cases in R.S. Pura where, according to him, cultivators with possessory rights over land were yet to receive compensation after dispossession. We will continue to stand with the farming community and pursue their issues at every level, he said, adding that steps should be taken to safeguard agricultural land and strengthen farmers welfare. Bukhari said Jammu and Kashmir lacks a strong industrial base and that land continues to remain an important source of livelihood and economic security for local communities. He also urged effective implementation of legal safeguards concerning land and called for greater attention to rural and agricultural concerns. Commenting on industrial development, Bukhari questioned the outcomes of the industrial package announced for Jammu and Kashmir and alleged that the expected employment benefits had not adequately reached local youth. The Apni Party chief also sought district status for R.S. Pura, citing its location and administrative requirements. During the convention, Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir stressed the need to examine challenges facing the agriculture sector and proposed constituting a commission to study the declining interest in farming. Mir said changing livelihood preferences and difficulties faced by cultivators required policy intervention and renewed focus on agriculture. He also demanded implementation of a Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism for farmers, saying it would help ensure stable returns and encourage agricultural activity. Party Provincial President Manjit Singh also addressed the gathering and raised concerns over unemployment, calling for stronger measures to create job opportunities for youth in Jammu and Kashmir. The event was attended by party workers and farmers from Jammu district and nearby areas and was organised by the partys Kisan Wing.
