Jammu, April 19 -- Police arrested 63 drug peddlers and registered more than 45 cases in just first five days -April 11 to 15-of the intensified crackdown against drug peddlers in Jammu and Kashmir, said lieutenant governor (LG) Manoj Sinha on Saturday. LG had launched 100-day "Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir Abhiyaan" on April 11, to tackle the growing drug menace, and has been holding foot marches to spread awareness. Sinha, addressing a gathering before such a foot march in Rajouri, said, "From April 11, J&K Police has launched a relentless crackdown in Jammu Division. More than 45 FIRs were filed, 63 smugglers nabbed and massive drug hauls seized between the April 11 and 15. Regular checks are now covering schools, pharmacies, drug agencies and this drive will continue relentlessly." Sinha said that border district Rajouri was sensitive and prone to cross-border drug smuggling but his administration was determined to crush these challenges, dismantle the drug trade and liberate society from addiction. Asserting that some battles brew unseen for years, he said countless families from Jammu and Kashmir have fought addiction within their walls and many have lost loved ones to it. "On April 11, from the hallowed grounds of Jammu's MA Stadium, we sounded the clarion call to total war by launching a resolute 100-day crusade against drug addiction. I believe addiction is no mere personal failing but a gaping wound in our society's fabric. Our terrorist neighbour deploys it as an insidious weapon, nurturing terror through drug smuggling and eroding our nation's strength from within," he said J&K Police on Saturday demolished an alleged drug peddler's house on the outskirts of Jammu, said officials. A large contingent of police officer including women cops armed with heavy-duty bulldozers, demolished the property owned by the drug peddler Shaif Din, alias Pappi, who is currently lodged in jail. The action aligns with a 100-day campaign launched by LG Manoj Sinha, which focuses on curbing substance abuse through a mix of enforcement and awareness efforts, said police. LG launched the campaign on April 11 and announced a slew of strict measures to make the UT a drug-free region. The authorities demolished Shaif's house, removed grass huts and seized some two-wheelers. "After proper verification, it was established that Shaif Din, of Suchetgarh, had raised a big house valued around Rs.2 crore in Belicharana area. He was involved in the drug trade and he had raised the house on an encroached land out of ill-gotten money," said a senior police officer. "Some women from the family and relatives tried to create obstacle in the functioning but they were taken care of by the women cops," said the officer. He informed that similar drive against drug peddlers will continue to make J&K drug free region....
