As a Kashmiri, I've seen how drugs have ruined so many young lives in our valleys. This campaign gives hope. But we need more than just punitive actions - rehabilitation centers and counseling are equally important. Let's save our future generation! 🙏

Cancelling Aadhaar and passports? That sounds too harsh for small-time peddlers who might just be victims of poverty. Focus on big fish - the real kingpins who operate from behind the scenes. The poor are just pawns in this game.

I've lived abroad and seen how countries like Portugal treat addiction as a health issue, not just a crime. Hope the Indian approach balances punishment with compassion. The youth need to understand that drugs are a trap, not a solution.

The 'collective responsibility' part is crucial - we as a society need to speak up and support our youth. The drug menace in Kashmir is heartbreaking. Let's all be part of the solution, not just blame the government. Action starts at home. 💪

Good initiative. But I hope the focus isn't just on narcotics from across the border - drugs from within the country also need equal attention. And please, no harassment of innocent people in the name of crackdowns. Proper investigation is key.
