“We all together supported the peace initiatives of the government after 2019 and which is why we are enjoying a peaceful progressive life full of dreams and aspirations in J&K. Now collective & consistent effeorts can surely achieve the Drug Free J&K for us”, said Dr Andrabi.
She said that the eradication of the drug menace was the unfinished goal of us all to ensure permanent peace and prosperity for our young generation. Hailing the strict actions against the drug peddlers and suppliers by the police administration, Andrabi said that much stronger actions are required to break the spine of the drug syndicate in Jammu & Kashmir.
