Sinha Escalates 100-Day Anti-Drug Drive in J&K With Samba Rally

The campaign shifts to measurable results with weekly audits across districts.

Overview

  • Manoj Sinha led a large rally in Samba on Saturday under the 100-day Nasha Mukt Abhiyaan, urging a people-led push alongside tougher policing.
  • Districts were told to report weekly outcomes that show progress on rehabilitation, prosecutions, contraband seized, fake centers shut, and grassroots committees formed.
  • In early results from April 11–22 in the Jammu division, officials reported seizures worth nearly ₹3 crore, arrests of several smugglers, and attachments of about ₹1 crore in assets.
  • Enforcement has widened with property demolitions tied to traffickers, cancellation of 187 driving licences and four vehicle registrations, 48 financial probes, and 15 drug-store licences revoked, with security checks increased near schools and colleges.
  • Sinha tied the drug flow to cross-border narco-terror financing and expanded community action with 1,947 women’s committees and appeals to NGOs, teachers, and youth to help steer users to care and cut off local demand.
