India-administered Kashmir launches campaign to fight youth drug addiction

As India's Jammu and Kashmir region grapples with a growing concern over youth drug addiction, authorities have launched a high-profile campaign aimed at tackling the issue head-on. The initiative, which targets young people in particular, seeks to raise awareness about the dangers of substance abuse and provide support to those struggling with addiction. With reports suggesting that a significant number of Kashmiri youth are falling prey to the scourge of opioids, cocaine, and other illicit substances, the campaign is seen as a crucial step towards a healthier and safer future for the region's young people. By combining educational outreach programs, counseling services, and community engagement, the authorities hope to break the cycle of addiction and empower the next generation of Kashmiris to make informed choices about their health and well-being.
