JAMMU, Apr 1: Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday called for adopting a zero tolerance policy against the drug menace in the Union Territory.
He was chairing a high-level meeting with deputy commissioners, senior superintendents of police and senior officials of the civil and police administration at Lok Bhavan here, an official spokesman said.
The LG emphasized on a multi-pronged strategy including strengthening law enforcement to dismantle trafficking networks, intensive mass awareness campaigns to deter potential users, enhancing treatment and counselling, and rehabilitation to make J&K drug-free.
"Action against drug abuse must be our top priority. We need a collective mechanism to safeguard our youth and ensure a healthy future for J&K," he said.
Sinha also directed for strengthening grassroots intelligence and coordinated and stringent action against drug smugglers.
The meeting discussed a series of activities planned for a dedicated three-month campaign under Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, the spokesman said. The LG exhorted the senior officials to lead the campaign from the front and ensure participation of every section of the society and stakeholders to make it a people's movement.
