Kashmir Drug Menace
Jammu and Kashmir: Youth pledge to fight against drug menace
A large number of students from private and government educational institutions across Jammu and Kashmir recently participated in one-day seminar on “Nashe Ko No, Zinda Ko Yes” in Raesi and pledged to fight collectively against the drug menace.
The seminar was organised by the District Legal Services Authority in collaboration with the Global Peace Organisation.
Justice Muhammad Akram Chaudhary of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court, who was the special guest, told Good Morning Kashmir, “The drug epidemic has become a serious challenge for the society. The future is also in danger. The youth, who are the future of the country, are losing their talent due to addiction.”
He said that the drugs were not limited to any region, but cities and towns as well as remote villages were also under its grip.
He said, “There was a time when parents used to pray for a son, begging and begging, and today it is time that many parents whose children have become victims of the drug epidemic want their children to die.”
Principal District and Sessions Judge R.N. Vatal, District Development Commissioner President Babila Rakwal, SSP Amit Gupta, Bar Association President Shalander Bhardwaj attended the event as guests.
