ANANTNAG, MAY 02: The District Administration Anantnag has intensified its crackdown on drug peddlers and violators of the NDPS Act by demolishing 15 illegal structures during a major enforcement drive at Waghama in Bijbehara on Saturday.
The action was carried out under the ongoing 100-Day intensified Nasha Mukt J&K Campaign, with authorities reiterating their commitment to dismantling narcotics networks and eliminating illegal assets linked to drug trafficking.
Officials said that in a joint operation, revenue authorities, supported by the police department, demolished structures including 15 shops that had been illegally constructed on State and Kahcharai land falling under Khasra Nos. 2494 (min) and 2495 (min) in Estate Waghama. The structures were reportedly linked to individuals involved in cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
The operation also led to the retrieval of encroached State and Kahcharai land, marking a significant step in reclaiming public property from illegal occupation.
Reaffirming a zero-tolerance stance, the District Administration stated that strict and sustained action against drug peddlers, narcotics networks, and unlawful encroachments will continue throughout the campaign. Officials emphasized that dismantling illegal properties associated with the drug trade is a key strategy to break the supply chain of narcotics in the district.
The administration has also issued a stern warning that anyone found involved in drug-related activities or illegal encroachments will face stringent legal consequences in the coming days.(KNC)
