J&K Parties Back L-G's 100-Day Anti-Drug Campaign

Jammu & Kashmir's Lieutenant Governor has launched a 100-day anti-drug campaign, Nasha Mukt J&K Abhiyan, formally requesting legislators and political party leaders across the territory to participate directly in the initiative. The L-G's letter framed the campaign as an ambitious, time-bound framework requiring cross-party cooperation rather than administrative action alone. The outreach signals an effort to convert political capital into grassroots anti-narcotics mobilization, enlisting elected representatives as active campaign figures rather than passive endorsers. Regional parties have responded positively to the call, indicating early buy-in from a political class that otherwise operates under a constrained legislative environment in the Union Territory. The practical test is implementation: whether legislator participation translates into measurable reduction in drug availability or treatment uptake across J&K's districts will determine whether the 100-day window produces verifiable outcomes or remains largely symbolic.
