He said that on the directions of Lt. Governor J&K, this facility has been included in Jammu Smart City project and its funds have been provided by Jammu Smart City Limited .

“It is a very happy occasion for all of us as much needed facility is being created here.”

He said that drug abuse is a bigger challenge than militancy in J&K “as it not only provides oxygen to the (militancy) by means of funding (militant) networks but also targets our younger generation.”

He said that militancy targets civilians and security forces individually but the drugs target the society as a whole and takes people particularly youth on the path of destruction. Singh said Jammu and Kashmir Police is putting massive efforts against drug trade and has seized huge quantity of drugs and huge amount of narco trade-cash. He said that the menace has increased during past few years and JK Police besides its intensified war on drugs is putting best of the efforts to aware the people about the magnitude of the problem to fight the menace collectively.
