Jammu, Apr 25: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said that fight against drug menace cannot be won alone, and needs a collective response from the society. He was addressing a large gathering in Samba as part of 100-days drug-free J&K Abhiyaan. I assure citizens that we will strike hard against drug networks. Yet this fight cannot be won by law alone, it must be won within society, through awareness, cooperation, and collective effort. We are building a Jammu Kashmir where drugs have no place, the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said. He said the 100-day drug-free J&K movement will inspire future generations and stand as proof that when people rise together, they can change history. The Lieutenant Governor said that every Panchayat must be drug-free, and every police station must be free of drug traffickers. Success in the next 85 days will not be measured by marches or slogans, but by how deeply the drug menace is cleaned out from villages and city neighborhoods. Weekly outcomes must be clearhow many people were rehabilitated, how many smugglers prosecuted, how many fake centers shut down, how many cases registered, how much contraband seized, and how many womens committees formed in Panchayat's and city wards, the Lieutenant Governor said. In his address, the Lieutenant Governor observed that continuous auditing of drug-free J&K campaign is essential. He said Deputy Commissioners, SSPs and other enforcement agencies must review weekly marches and programs to ensure this movement builds a complete chain of care- from identification and counseling to treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation. The Lieutenant Governor said that this grave crisis of drug was systematically fueled by the neighboring country to finance terrorism and create social breakdown. He said the narco-terrorists exploited our weaknesses and targeted our youth. Now is the time to confront this challenge with full strength, applying the harshest law against those who conspire against society. For the next 85 days, we must sustain its energy, reach every home across Union Territory and warn against the dangers of drugs. Participation, momentum, and energy are vital, because drug addiction is not an individuals problem, it is a social crisis, the Lieutenant Governor said. He also highlighted that the ongoing historic peoples movement is not a government order but a public resolve and now parents, elders are stepping out to spread awareness, teachers guiding students, and survivors sharing their stories openly to prevent others from falling into darkness. Jammu Kashmir is now illuminated with a new resolve against drugs. It is a flame of hope that will end the darkness, erase fear, and light the future. In these past 15 days, the transformation I have witnessed among people is nothing short of a miracle, the Lieutenant Governor said. On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor also flagged off a bike rally and launched the Samba Cricket Premier League under Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir Abhiyaan.
