Jammu and Kashmir Launches Major Anti-Narcotics Campaign, Targets 1,018 Drug PeddlersWire Service: IANS

Key Takeaways

  • 1,018 drug peddlers arrested in 50 days
  • 341 kg of narcotics seized during the campaign
  • Public awareness programs reached over 1 crore people

This Jammu and Kashmir anti-drug update is honestly not small thing ah . On June 1,2026 ,officials said Nasha Mukt Abhiyaan has completed 50 days and numbers coming out are quite heavy.

In just this period,authorities say 1,018 drug peddlers were apprehended and 341 kilograms of narcotics were seized . For one region,this looks like very big push against illegal drug activities .

And what stands out is not just arrests,but scale of whole campaign . Officials are calling it one of largest anti-narcotics offensives ever launched in Jammu and Kashmir,and looking at figures,you can understand why.

Police also registered 923 FIRs related to narcotics offenses . Among seized substances,there were 12 kilograms of heroin valued at nearly ₹120 crore,along with thousands of psychotropic tablets and capsules .

Few key things from this campaign:

  • 1,018 individuals apprehended in first 50 days.
  • 341 kg of drugs confiscated during campaign.
  • Over 16 lakh programs reached more than one crore people.

But enforcement side has gone beyond just arrests only . Authorities also started action against properties linked to drug trafficking,targeting assets worth over ₹200 crore . Under Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT-NDPS) Act,55 individuals were detained as preventive step against habitual traffickers .

There was also financial crackdown where attachment and demolition of properties valued at over ₹83 crore linked to drug activities took place . And honestly,this part matters because drug networks do not survive only through small street-level selling,they survive through money,property and protection.

At same time,Nasha Mukt Abhiyaan is not being shown as just police action . Public participation has also been pushed,with anti-drug padyatras led by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha gaining traction across region . Over 58,603 patients have received treatment at de-addiction facilities too.

Government says aim is to dismantle entire ecosystem that sustains drug trafficking and narco-terrorism,so people involved can be identified and neutralized . Big statement,no doubt . But real question is whether this pressure will stay after first 50 days also…
