Srinagar, Mar 1: Janata Dal United President for Jammu and Kashmir GM Shaheen has expressed serious concern over growing drug and liquor abuse in Kashmir.
GM Shaheen in a statement said the menace of drug addiction is spreading far and wide in Srinagar and across Kashmir especially among the youth including girls.
He urged the political leaders, civil society and religious leaders to join hands with the administration especially police and health and medical departments to identity and unearth the racket behind the spread of drugs abuse.
Shaheen said Jammu and Kashmir should become a developed state where use and presence of drugs should be banned.
He said if the use of drugs continue in Kashmir at the same pace as it is today, then future of youth will become dark and bleak. (KNT)
