Jammu and Kashmir: Narco-terrorism emerging as challenge
Srinagar: Pakistan-sponsored narco-terrorism has emerged as a major challenge for security agencies in Jammu and Kashmir, media reports said.
Pakistan, after losing the 30-year-long proxy war, is using drugs as a weapon to turn Kashmiri youth into addicts, ANI reported.
“Narco-terrorism has emerged as yet another big challenge for the security agencies in J-K,” the report said.
“Drugs are being airdropped through drones and criminals have been hired to run drug trafficking rackets. By introducing guns in J-K, Pakistan targeted individuals, and by sending drugs now it’s out to destroy families and society as a whole,” it added.
“Seminars, workshops, and public lectures are being organized to spread awareness about substance abuse. The fight against terrorism and narco-terrorism is on and it has almost been won,” the report said.
