Overview
- Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, speaking Thursday in Doda, said police have filed 350 FIRs and arrested 440 people during the first 20 days of the 100‑day 'Nasha Mukt J‑K Abhiyan' anti‑drug drive.
- He called drug abuse a form of 'silent terrorism' and said narcotics smuggling is 'terrorism in disguise' that will be dealt with under the law as terrorists are.
- Sinha pledged to identify every smuggler, local peddler, and syndicate member and said the administration aims to dismantle the trafficking networks that feed the trade.
- He urged schools, colleges, social groups, and media to join the effort and joined a foot‑march in Doda to underscore that government action alone cannot end addiction.
- The administration says 80 days remain in the campaign, and officials present the arrest and case totals as official tallies without announcing new legal changes.
