JAMMU, July 16: Seeking personal intervention of Governor N N Vohra to protect younger generation of J&K from the deadly menace of drug addiction, Team Jammu today strongly demanded that cross-LoC trade centres on the Line of Control should be immediately shut to snap supply line of heroin, charas and other narcotic drugs from across the border.
Team Jammu observed that the so-called cross-LoC is the main source of smuggling narcotic from across the border to destroy younger generation of the country.
Addressing a meeting of the executive committee of Team Jammu, Zorawar Singh Jamwal, chairman of the Team Jammu, alleged that international drug lords under the grab of cross LoC trade were indulged in smuggling drugs to this side of the border but authorities have failed to take action due to indecisiveness and vote bank politics of the successive State Governments.
He pointed out that the statement of Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amrinder Singh, who in an interview, has admitted that Kashmir is main source of smuggling drugs to other parts of the country, has authenticated the allegations that deadly drugs are being smuggled from across the border under the grab of cross-LoC trade.
Alleging that international drug mafia has virtually taken control of cross-LoC trade, Zorawar drew attention towards meeting of these traders, which are held in big cities like Singapore, Thailand, Washington, Dubai etc. “Such meetings are organized by drug lords for the enjoyments of these so-called traders whose names have been used by the international drug mafia to ensure smooth flow of their consignments from across the border to every nook and corner of India,” he added and demanded questioning of these traders.
“This is not simple drug smuggling, but narco terrorism, which is more dangerous than other kinds of terror and we should not take it simply as a menace. It is a great threat, which can completely devastate our younger generation,” said Zorawar Singh.
