Driving Licences, Passports of Drug Peddlers to Be Cancelled
Srinagar, May 3:
Manoj Sinha on Sunday announced that the administration is finalising a comprehensive rehabilitation policy for drug abuse victims in Jammu and Kashmir, expected to be rolled out within the next few weeks.
Speaking to reporters at the Lok Bhavan, the Lieutenant Governor said the policy will include a structured three-year monitoring programme aimed at ensuring sustained recovery and reintegration of individuals who overcome drug addiction.
“We are creating a detailed rehabilitation plan so that individuals who recover from drug addiction can be tracked for three years, with complete support systems in place,” he said.
Highlighting the need for enhanced infrastructure, Sinha said more rehabilitation centres will be established while existing facilities will be strengthened. He added that the Health Department has been directed to ensure adequate OPD and IPD services for drug abuse victims in hospitals across the Union Territory.
The Lieutenant Governor also outlined a series of stringent measures against drug peddlers, including cancellation of driving licences and recommendation for revocation of passports. “An SOP has been issued under which anyone involved in drug trafficking will face criminal action along with cancellation of driving licences and termination of vehicle registration,” he said.
He further stated that authorities will freeze bank accounts, initiate action on Aadhaar cards, issue lookout notices for absconders, and attach properties under provisions of the NDPS Act.
Sinha emphasized the importance of collective societal effort, noting that religious and political leaders are being engaged to strengthen awareness campaigns. “When law enforcement, societal will, and community cooperation come together, success becomes easier,” he remarked.
The Lieutenant Governor reiterated that drug trafficking in Jammu and Kashmir is linked to terrorism and youth radicalisation, adding that proceeds from narcotics often fund such activities.
Referring to the ongoing anti-drug campaign launched on April 11 from the M.A. Stadium, he said the initiative has witnessed massive public participation, with foot marches conducted across multiple districts of the Jammu division.
He added that a foot march is scheduled to be led by him on Monday from the astroturf football stadium at TRC Chowk to Lal Chowk in Srinagar as part of the continuing campaign against drug abuse.

“In the war against drug abuse and narco-terrorism, every step matters. Every effort counts. Every contribution brings victory closer. Together, let us envision a Jammu Kashmir where no child is lost to drugs, no family is broken by addiction, no community suffers under traffickers, and every citizen thrives in health and strength,” the Lieutenant Governor, Shri Manoj Sinha said today in Srinagar. “This is the vision we pursue, the dream we must fulfil, and the legacy we owe future generations. It is about Jammu Kashmir’s destiny, the society we aspire to build, the values we uphold, and the lives we safeguard. Today, let us pledge that we will not rest until Jammu Kashmir is completely drug-free,” the Lieutenant Governor said. He was addressing the launch of a major campaign against drug abuse and narco-terrorism at TRC Football Ground in Srinagar. The Lieutenant Governor also led a two-KMs Padyatra, urging people from all walks of life to commit themselves wholeheartedly to the fight against substance abuse. The Lieutenant Governor said that battle against substance abuse is being fought in our homes and the pledge we made today is not just a personal vow. “It is cry of every mother who has seen her child consumed by addiction, and solemn commitment of every father who has watched dreams collapse under weight of drug abuse.
It is also promise of every teacher who has witnessed talent and potential fade into silence. Determination to uproot drugs is not only a declaration from administration but it is collective resolve of people, who, after enduring decades of suffering, have risen to say: enough is enough. Active participation of the people is unshakable force capable of defeating the enemies’ assault through narco-terrorism. Drug traffickers and their networks have targeted our youth.

Your energy belongs to sports fields, skill platforms, and the building of a brighter future,” the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor said our neighbouring country, known as the world’s foremost incubator of terrorism is pushing drugs to harm our youth and sponsor terrorism. He said drug money fuels terrorism and radicalization. He also said that this mission advances on three fronts- dismantling supply chains, spreading awareness at the grassroots, and rehabilitating addicts with dignity and care.
“It is a grave threat to internal security. Both terrorists and drug traffickers seek to fracture unity, corrode integrity, and destroy peace, while draining the strength of our youth to strike at Jammu Kashmir’s future. We have adopted 360-degree approach for cracking down on drug peddlers, rehabilitating addicts, training police, raising awareness, and mobilizing grassroots participation,” the Lieutenant Governor said. “Under a new SoP, we are taking stringent action. Between April 11 and May 2, the Jammu and Kashmir divisions together recorded 481 FIRs in just 21 days.

The Lieutenant Governor issued a stern warning to narco-terror networks stating that drug syndicates, and anti-national element’s time on Jammu Kashmir’s soil is over. “Our agencies, our administration, and our people stand united to dismantle every smuggling ring and peddler operation. We are tracking the financial trails of drug cartels. Every link will be broken, every mechanism destroyed. I pledge to the people that every trafficker will be exposed, every criminal will face justice, and anyone, inside or outside Jammu Kashmir, who has aided the drug network will be held accountable under the full force of law,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

Srinagar, May 02 :
Jammu & Kashmir Police have intensified its multi-pronged crackdown on drug trafficking and substance abuse under the Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan, registering significant achievements across the Union Territory.
Pertinently, the ongoing campaign launched and spearheaded by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to target drug peddlers, dismantle financial networks linked to narcotics, and strengthen public awareness is going on in full vigour.
Sources told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that the accelerated action under the abhiyaan is on the top of agenda of the Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat who chaired a number of review meetings and made visits to districts for achieving maximum results.
The campaign, started on April 11, 2026, and up to April 26, 2026, 378 cases were registered under the NDPS Act and related laws, with 431 drug peddlers booked.
“Police seized 478 kg of narcotic drugs, 13,427 tables,capsules and bottles of psychotropic substances, with a total estimated value about Rs. seven crore. The authorities disposed of 4,776 kg of narcotic drugs and 6,493 tablets,capsules and bottles of psychotropic substances.

‘₹50 crore spent on unused bridges, ₹35 crore oxygen plants non-functional, ₹2.35 crore rescue kits left to decay in storage’

Srinagar, May 02 :
The World Bank-aided Jhelum Tawi Flood Recovery Project (JTFRP) in Jammu & Kashmir has come under scrutiny, with the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) flagging “unfruitful expenditure,” idle infrastructure worth crores, and violations of contractual provisions in its report for the period ending March 2023.
The audit, accessed by the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), noted that several key assets—including flood rescue boats, oxygen generator plants and search and rescue kits—have remained unused for years, raising concerns over preparedness in a disaster-prone Union Territory still vulnerable to floods like the 2014 deluge.
It further pointed to procurement irregularities, stating that the Project Management Unit (PMU) in August 2017 procured 30 emergency fibre and rubber boats from M/s Gee Pee Reinforced Products Pvt Ltd at inflated rates, despite a clause mandating refund of excess amount if subsequent tenders were finalised at lower rates.
However, the audit noted that when tenders for 28 additional boats were opened in 2018—with the same firm emerging as L1—the Project CEO in August 2025 termed the earlier contract as “expired.” The auditors rejected the claim, observing that the agreement carried no expiry clause and the firm remained liable to refund the excess amount.
It also flagged that over 500 high-value Search and Rescue kits, procured at a cost of ₹2.35 crore, have been lying unused for more than two years in government stores in Kathua and Anantnag, defeating the objective of strengthening Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) for disaster response.
The report further revealed that out of 530 kits supplied between October 2021 and June 2022, as many as 505 were not distributed, citing a lack of SDRF training. It added that key safety components, such as Karabiners in 230 kits, were found defective and remained unreplaced as of January 2024, while no provision existed in the contract for replenishment of perishable items.
A joint physical inspection of 16 Oxygen Generator Plants (OGPs) pointed to systemic lapses, with the audit noting that no manpower was provided by the Health Department for their operation. At CHC Akhnoor, the plant was handed over only after the withdrawal of contractor staff, leaving it non-functional.
At CHC Hiranagar, defects such as burnt circuit breakers and leaking valves remained unattended for months, while a plant at PHC Zakura was found inaccessible due to the occupation of the premises by security forces. In the absence of any maintenance provision, the audit termed the COVID-era assets a “dead loss.”
The report also flagged the state-owned JKPCC, stating that out of 13 sub-projects worth ₹266 crore, 10 remain incomplete and seven have been abandoned since 2020-21, resulting in unfruitful expenditure of ₹50.52 crore.
It further noted that bridges at Wagoora, Trenz Sheikhpora and Rohmoo are delayed by over four years. In violation of contract terms, JKPCC sub-contracted two major bridge projects worth ₹55.75 crore up to 61 per cent, exceeding the permissible limit of 25 per cent, while work was also halted over the use of sub-standard E-250 grade steel.
The audit also pulled up the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Supplies Corporation (JKMSCL) for procuring 500 modular monitors at inflated rates, leading to an avoidable expenditure of ₹31.6 lakh. It added that medical equipment worth ₹5.39 crore remains idle in hospitals across Poonch, Samba and Baramulla due to a lack of supporting infrastructure.
Besides, the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) was flagged for spending ₹102.89 crore on the upgradation of dewatering stations handling mixed discharge. The audit noted that despite World Bank directions, the corporation pumped large quantities of household wastewater into the Jhelum and Dhoodh Ganga, attracting a penalty of ₹35 crore from the National Green Tribunal—(KNO)
The Supreme Court of India has directed the Jammu and Kashmir administration to issue engagement orders to candidates selected under the Rehbar-e-Taleem (ReT) scheme, holding that the scheme’s closure cannot retrospectively deny appointments to those already placed in select panels.
The order came while disposing of a batch of petitions, including the case involving the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir versus Saba Wani, with the court modifying earlier High Court directions.
The court ruled that candidates included in the select panels must be appointed based on available vacancies and their merit position. It directed the administration to issue formal engagement orders within eight weeks.
However, the court imposed conditions regarding qualifications. It said that candidates appointed under the scheme must acquire the minimum qualifications prescribed by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), including qualifying the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET), within three years and up to three attempts.
The judgment further stated that after acquiring the required qualifications and clearing TET, such appointees would be eligible for regularization after completing two years of service.
The court clarified that these conditions would also apply to similarly placed candidates who have already been appointed under the ReT scheme but do not meet the required qualifications.
It also directed that seniority among such candidates be determined based on their position in the original select panels, rather than the date of appointment or regularization.
The court warned that candidates who fail to acquire the required qualifications or clear TET within the stipulated period may face termination of services.
At the same time, the court made it clear that the ruling does not revive the ReT scheme or create rights for those who were not part of the select panels or had not approached courts earlier.
The judgment, issued under Article 142 of the Constitution, was described as specific to the facts of the case and not to be treated as a precedent.
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday called upon people across Jammu and Kashmir to join a major public movement aimed at building a drug-free society, announcing a Mega Padyatra scheduled to be held on May 3 at the TRC Football Stadium Srinagar.
In a public message, the LG said he is witnessing a strong and inspiring momentum across the Union Territory towards eliminating the menace of drug abuse. He urged citizens from all walks of life, especially youth, to participate in the padyatra and collectively take a stand against narcotics.
“Let us unite and work together to create a safer and healthier Jammu and Kashmir for future generations,” he said, emphasizing that community participation is key to the success of the anti-drug campaign.
The initiative is part of ongoing efforts by the administration to strengthen awareness and intensify action against drug abuse, with authorities encouraging widespread public involvement to make the campaign impactful and sustainable.(KNC)
