Dr. Rufayee Calls for Collective Public Support to Strengthen Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan in Jammu & Kashmir
Jammu, May 28:
Dr. Tahir Rufayee, Chairman of the National Foundation for Journalism and Media (NFJM), has appreciated the intensified efforts being undertaken across Jammu and Kashmir under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan to combat the growing menace of drug abuse and narcotics trafficking.
In a statement issued today, Dr. Rufayee lauded the visionary leadership and firm commitment of Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha for prioritizing the fight against narcotics and ensuring a coordinated administrative response against drug networks operating in the Union Territory.
He further appreciated the Jammu and Kashmir Police for their proactive and sustained action against drug peddlers, including the registration of FIRs, arrests, seizure of narcotic substances, and intensified surveillance measures aimed at protecting society, particularly the younger generation, from the devastating consequences of substance abuse.
Dr. Rufayee observed that the ongoing crackdown against narcotics has sent a strong message that the administration is fully committed to uprooting the drug menace from Jammu and Kashmir. He stated that the strict action being taken against those involved in drug trafficking deserves public appreciation and wholehearted support from all sections of society.
Emphasizing the importance of collective responsibility, Dr. Rufayee urged citizens to actively participate in the campaign by remaining vigilant and promptly reporting any suspicious drug-related activities to the concerned authorities. He stated that public cooperation is essential in identifying and isolating those attempting to destroy the social fabric through the spread of narcotics.
He also appealed to parents, teachers, religious scholars, youth leaders, and civil society organizations to play a constructive role in guiding the younger generation, promoting awareness regarding the harmful effects of drugs, and encouraging a culture of discipline, education, and positive engagement.
“Drug abuse is not merely a law-and-order concern; it is a serious social and moral challenge that threatens families, communities, and the future of our youth. The determined efforts of the administration under the leadership of Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha and the committed role of Jammu and Kashmir Police deserve appreciation. However, the success of this movement depends upon active participation and cooperation from the public as well,” Dr. Rufayee stated.
He further reiterated that the National Foundation for Journalism and Media remains committed to supporting all constructive initiatives aimed at youth welfare, public awareness, social reform, and the creation of a healthier and drug-free society.
