Jammu Authorities Demolish Properties Linked to Drug Traffickers in Anti-Drug Campaign

As part of the 100-day 'Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyan' launched by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Jammu authorities have demolished illegal properties linked to drug traffickers. In Jammu's Javed Nagar and Belicharana areas, structures allegedly built with proceeds from narcotics smuggling were dismantled. Officials reported over 150 such properties seized or demolished in the past year, with plans to identify top traffickers and intensify crackdowns, including revoking official documents of offenders.
