KULGAM: Continuing its sustained efforts against drug abuse under the ongoing “Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan”, Police in Kulgam conducted an anti-drug awareness programme at Hanfia Model institute Mohamadpora, Kulgam.

The programme witnessed active participation from officers of Kulgam police including DySP HQRS Kulgam Shri Nisar Ahmad-JKPS, students and teaching staff, reflecting strong engagement and awareness among the youth. The initiative aimed to sensitize participants about the harmful effects of drug abuse and its far-reaching consequences on individuals, families, and society.

During the session, participants were educated about the physical, psychological, and social impacts of substance abuse, along with the legal implications under the NDPS Act. Emphasis was laid on preventive measures such as resisting peer pressure, making informed life choices, and adopting a healthy and drug-free lifestyle.

Students were encouraged to act as responsible citizens by spreading awareness among their peers and contributing actively towards building a drug-free society. Police reiterates its firm commitment to eradicating the menace of drugs and continues to intensify its outreach initiatives across the district.
