The District Administration of Anantnag has launched a vigorous crackdown on drug peddlers and violators of the NDPS Act by demolishing 15 illegal structures during a significant enforcement drive in Waghama, Bijbehara on Saturday. This operation forms part of the ongoing 100-Day intensified Nasha Mukt J&K Campaign.
Authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to dismantling narcotics networks and eliminating illegal assets associated with drug trafficking. This recent move demonstrates the administration’s decisive action against illegal structures linked to drug-related activities.
In a coordinated effort, revenue authorities partnered with the police department to destroy illegal establishments, including 15 shops unlawfully constructed on State and Kahcharai land. These properties, located within Khasra Nos. 2494 (min) and 2495 (min) in Estate Waghama, reportedly connect to individuals entangled in cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
The operation also successfully retrieved illegally encroached State and Kahcharai land. This recovery marks a commendable step in reclaiming public property from unlawful occupation, reflecting the administration’s organized approach to public safety.
Reinforcing its zero-tolerance approach, the District Administration stated that rigorous and ongoing actions against drug peddlers and unlawful encroachments would persist throughout the duration of the campaign. Officials have emphasized that dismantling properties linked to the drug trade is vital for severing the supply chain of narcotics in the district.
The administration has issued a stern warning to the public, asserting that anyone found engaged in drug-related activities or illegal encroachments will encounter severe legal repercussions in the forthcoming days. As the Nasha Mukt J&K Campaign finalizes its 100-day duration, the focus remains steadfast on intensifying enforcement and community awareness regarding the detrimental effects of drug abuse.
This decisive and proactive stance aligns with the broader national effort to combat drug abuse, promote public safety, and ultimately build a drug-free environment in Jammu and Kashmir.
