ANANTNAG: Based on reliable reports and facts established during the investigation of various NDPS cases, it has come to light that narcotic syndicates and drug peddlers operating in District Anantnag pose a serious threat to national security due to their direct links with terror handlers.

These criminal elements are not only involved in unlawful activities but are also contributing significantly to the degradation of society by supplying hazardous narcotics and contraband substances, thereby endangering public health and disturbing social harmony.

In view of the grave threat posed to the security of the State and maintenance of public order, SSP Anantnag has issued strict directions to all field units. It has been ordered that during the process of verifications related to passports, Government employment, contractor cards, and other character and antecedent checks, any involvement or links of an applicant with narcotics syndicates must be explicitly mentioned in red ink.

Furthermore, it has been directed that no security clearance shall be granted to individuals found to be associated with drug peddling or narcotics networks. J&K Police remains committed to safeguarding public safety and national security, and will continue to take stringent measures against all those involved in activities detrimental to society.
