The Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (NMBA) has reached over 98 lakh people in Jammu and Kashmir, including more than 8 lakh youth and 9 lakh women, the ministry said, adding, “In FY 2023-24, over 31,000 people have been treated for drug de-addiction, and a toll-free helpline, 14446, has been established for immediate support.”

Mehdi also inquired about the steps taken to address the issue, the increase in rehabilitation centres, the effectiveness of the ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan’ and the collaborative measures with international law enforcement agencies to counter drug trafficking from Pakistan.

The Ministry said more than 98 lakh people have been reached through NMBA in Jammu and Kashmir, and the department supports several de-addiction programs, including Integrated Rehabilitation Centres for Addicts (IRCA), Outreach and Drop-In Centers (ODIC), and Addiction Treatment Facilities (ATF).

“The government has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Pakistan’s Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) and participates in international forums like the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation to address cross-border drug trafficking,” the ministry added—(KNO)
