Chief Minister has expressed deep anguish over the tragic loss of seven lives in a landslide at Domail Dhok, Nandichool Loran, Poonch. He conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for peace to the departed souls.

The Chief Minister has deputed @JavedRanaa and @satishsharmajnk to visit the affected areas in Rajouri and Poonch and personally oversee relief and rehabilitation efforts. As an immediate measure of support, the Chief Minister has also announced ex gratia relief of ₹6 lakh for the next of kin of each deceased, comprising ₹4 lakh from the State Disaster Response Fund and ₹2 lakh from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.

[Manoj Sinha @manojsinha_]

Today, I addressed an event organized by the Department of Social Welfare, commemorating the successful completion of 100 days of the 'Drug-Free J&K campaign'. While this milestone marks significant progress, our mission is far from complete.
We are determined to neutralise the drug cartels and narco-terror networks that target our youth. We continue to strengthen our key priorities of dismantling illicit trafficking ecosystems, enhancing public awareness, and providing robust rehabilitation to help affected individuals reintegrate into society.
The first 100 days of the campaign laid the foundation for the rigorous path ahead. The road ahead will certainly be tough, but our resolve to completely wipe out narco-terrorism is stronger than ever.
