"reaffirming its commitment towards building a drug-free society - Police Statement"

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.​

The door-to-door campaigns and school programs are crucial. Awareness must start young. As a teacher, I've seen how peer pressure works. Hope they also provide proper counseling and rehabilitation support, not just awareness.

Good initiative but the real test is sustainability. These 100-day campaigns often fade away. Need permanent de-addiction centers and job opportunities for youth in the valley. That will do more than rallies in the long run.

The plantation drive symbolizing a healthy future is a beautiful touch. Combining environmental care with social welfare sends a powerful message. Wishing the people of Budgam all the best in this fight.

Finally, a clear statement linking drugs to terror funding. This isn't just a social evil, it's a national security issue. Police must continue aggressive operations against smugglers. Our youth are our strength, they must be saved.

Community participation is key. When locals, students, and officials come together, the message is stronger. Hope this creates a supportive environment where those affected can seek help without fear. More power to Budgam! 🙏
