Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha announced a Mega Padyatra to promote a drug-free society in Jammu and Kashmir. Scheduled for May 3, the event will take place at the TRC Football Stadium in Srinagar and aims to mobilize citizens against the menace of drug abuse.
Addressing a gathering, Sinha emphasized the need for community involvement, stating, “Let us unite and work together to create a safer and healthier Jammu and Kashmir for future generations.” He urged individuals from all age groups, particularly the youth, to join this pivotal movement.
The LG noted the inspiring momentum across the Union Territory towards eliminating drug abuse, highlighting that a collaborative effort is essential in the fight against narcotics. “The success of our anti-drug campaign hinges on public participation,” he added.
This padyatra is part of broader initiatives by the Jammu and Kashmir administration. Recently, the government has intensified actions aimed at boosting awareness and enforcing stricter measures against drug-related activities.
Local authorities are prioritizing public involvement to enhance the campaign’s impact and sustainability. Involving community members fosters a collective responsibility towards tackling drug abuse and safeguarding the youth from its harmful effects.
According to recent statistics, Jammu and Kashmir has seen a rise in drug-related incidents, indicating an urgent need for preventive measures. The government hopes that this Mega Padyatra will not only raise awareness but also inspire a cultural shift against drug use.
With less than two weeks until the event, preparations are underway to ensure significant turnout. Authorities encourage residents to spread the word and participate actively, reaffirming that combating drug abuse is a shared obligation.
The Mega Padyatra serves as a rallying call for citizens of Jammu and Kashmir to take a stand against drugs and work towards a healthier future.
