J&K’s 100‑Day Anti‑Drug Drive Intensifies With Big Seizures, Demolitions and Detentions

The campaign now prioritizes property seizures to choke drug finances.

Overview

  • Anantnag police, which on Friday announced the UT’s single largest anti‑narcotics attachment, seized assets worth about ₹6.5 crore from a family probed under the NDPS law that targets drug trafficking proceeds.
  • Baramulla authorities on Friday demolished a shop tied to an accused peddler in Ferozpora Tangmarg and sealed a GDA‑leased cafe linked to an NDPS case, with steps underway to cancel the lease.
  • Thursday’s actions expanded the asset crackdown as Srinagar police attached two houses valued at over ₹2 crore and Anantnag police froze a house, shopping complex and land worth about ₹2.5 crore under NDPS Section 68‑F.
  • Reasi police on Friday used the PITNDPS preventive‑detention law to jail two repeat suspects after multiple NDPS cases and lab reports confirming heroin content, signaling tighter controls on alleged reoffenders.
  • Officials highlight mass backing through more than 4,000 mosques and public rallies, while Education and Health Minister Sakina Itoo urges a halt to demolitions and a sharper focus on supply chains and rehabilitation.
