Manoj Sinha on Saturday led a large anti-drug padyatra in Anantnag as part of the ongoing Nasha Mukt J&K campaign.
The awareness march started from Government Degree College Khanabal and moved through New Basti and SBI Chowk. Thousands of people, including students, young people, local residents, and government officials, joined the rally.
LG Manoj Sinha joined the march around 10:30 AM and led the procession, sending a strong message against drug abuse in Jammu and Kashmir.
Participants carried banners and placards and raised slogans supporting a drug-free Jammu and Kashmir.
The rally is part of the Union Territory’s larger campaign under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan aimed at fighting the growing drug problem, especially among young people.
Officials speaking during the event highlighted the administration’s zero-tolerance policy against drug trafficking. They said strict legal action, property seizures, and awareness programmes in schools and colleges are being carried out across different districts.
The Anantnag rally follows similar anti-drug marches recently organised in Srinagar and Budgam, showing the administration’s continued efforts to make Jammu and Kashmir drug-free.
Officials said more details and outcomes from the rally are expected later.
