This is a firm resolve,\u201d the LG said, flanked by top police and civil officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Narco-terror nexus exposed<\/p>\n<p>In a scathing attack, Sinha exposed the deep conspiracy behind the drug influx. \u201cOur neighboring country is smuggling drugs into Jammu &amp; Kashmir by design. Drug money has built \u2018narco-palaces\u2019, and a large portion of these funds is being funneled into terrorism and radicalization,\u201d he charged.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that drugs and terrorism are not separate challenges but \u201ctwo faces of the same coin.\u201d \u201cWhile drugs destroy our youth, terror outfits use the same money to buy weapons to shed the blood of our brothers and sisters. This narco-terror network has inflicted suffering on generations of J&amp;K for decades. We will not rest until it is defeated,\u201d the LG declared.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Decisive blow in Anantnag<\/p>\n<p>Showcasing the administration\u2019s iron fist, the LG revealed staggering statistics from Anantnag district alone.<a class=\"wc\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VafVkKRKrWR3KkZdrp1S\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel<\/a>\u201cSince April 11, the highest number of 108 NDPS cases have been registered. Narco-palaces worth Rs 3.5 crore, built with black money from drugs, have been reduced to dust,\u201d he announced to loud applause.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He added that 22 vehicles have been seized, eight driving licenses and vehicle registrations cancelled, and 13 drug stores sealed for violating the law. \u201cI assure the people of Anantnag \u2013 not a single smuggler will be left untouched. The entire machinery involved in drug smuggling will be uprooted from its roots,\u201d the LG warned.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>71-day blitzkrieg<\/p>\n<p>Calling for a time-bound action plan, Sinha directed the police and civil administration to cover every panchayat of Anantnag, focusing on vulnerable areas in the next 71 days of the campaign. He also laid the foundation stone for sports infrastructure projects worth Rs 20.60 crore, including a Khel Gaon in Jablipora, to channel youth energy in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The LG made a special appeal to women, youth clubs, sportspersons, teachers, and religious leaders. \u201cReligious leaders are people\u2019s guides. I want them to provide moral guidance to youth. This is not just the administration\u2019s battle \u2013 it is society\u2019s collective war,\u201d he said, reiterating his commitment to ensuring justice to every terror victim family.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Artists performed traditional \u2018Nukad Natak\u2019 and \u2018Baand Pather\u2019 to raise awareness, as the LG felicitated youth icons and distributed sports kits, vowing to make Jammu &amp; Kashmir drug-free.
