JAMMU, May 23: In a stirring address at a legal symposium, Meenakshi Slathia, Deputy Advocate General, J&K and Ladakh High Court, called for a unified, multi-stakeholder strategy to combat the growing threat of drug abuse, framing it not just as a legal challenge but as a critical test of regional social resilience.
Speaking at a lecture organized by CMH College of Legal Studies in support of the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, Slathia extended whole hearted support for the 100-day anti-drug campaign launched by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, noting its strong backing from Government departments, educational institutions and civil society.
“This is not a battle law enforcement can win alone,” she said. “We need inclusive participation from parents, teachers, community leaders, and students.” She outlined the existing legal framework, including the NDPS Act, while emphasizing that prevention, rehabilitation, and inter-agency coordination are as vital as punitive action.
Manoj Saguna, Superintendent of the Narcotics Control Bureau Jammu, also offered brief insights on emerging drug trends.
The event was presided over by Chowdhary Zulfkar Ali, chairman of CMH College of Legal Studies, who reaffirmed the Institution’s commitment to nurturing legally aware citizens as grassroots change-makers.
In her closing remarks, Slathia urged: “No single agency or department can eradicate this evil in isolation. It demands a symphony of efforts—from the courtroom to the classroom, from the police beat to the family home. The 100-day campaign is a catalyst, but our resolve must be indefinite.”Excelsior Correspondent
