Jammu, Apr 25: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday reached Samba district headquarters as part of the 100-day intensive campaign under ‘Nasha Mukt Abhiyan’, saying the youth hold the key to ending the drug menace.
Samba witnessed a massive gathering as people from all walks of life came together to support the drug-free campaign, pledging to eliminate the menace of drugs from society.
“I reiterated that this 100-day movement will inspire future generations and stand as proof that when people rise together, they can change history,” the LG said, addressing the gathering.
On April 11, Sinha led a padyatra from M A Stadium to Parade Ground in the heart of Jammu to mark the beginning of the anti-drug campaign. He led rallies in different districts as part of the campaign over the past fortnight.
The LG conveyed to the youth that the solution to this “grave problem” rests in their hands.
“Their dreams are powerful; their potential limitless and society must rally behind them to make those dreams real. I urged them to stay firm on the right path with determination,” he said, highlighting the critical role of the youth.
In a major crackdown across Jammu and Kashmir over the past two weeks, authorities arrested scores of drug peddlers, including several kingpins, and demolished more than half a dozen residential properties linked to notorious traffickers. ( PTI )
