LG Sinha to lead anti-drug march in Kupwara, address public gatherings

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha arrived in Kupwara on Tuesday evening ahead of a massive ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat’ padyatra aimed at intensifying the fight against drug abuse in the region.

The padyatra is expected to witness participation from thousands of people, including youth, students, civil society groups, government officials and members of the general public, as part of a broader campaign to raise awareness and strengthen collective action against substance abuse.

After the culmination of the rally, the Lieutenant Governor is scheduled to address a gathering near Boys Higher Secondary School, Kupwara.

Later in the afternoon, Sinha will also attend a rally at Trehgam, where he is likely to speak on the ongoing efforts to curb the drug menace in Jammu and Kashmir and underline the importance of community participation in the anti-drug campaign.

Locals said the Lieutenant Governor’s visit to the frontier district is expected to give a major boost to the ongoing ‘Nasha Mukt Abhiyan’ and further strengthen community-level involvement in anti-drug initiatives across Kupwara district.
