 STATE TIMES NEWS
KATRA: Encouraged by the over-whelming response of the people in its war against menace of drugs, the Team Jammu on Sunday organised third successive anti-drug rally to educate the younger generation over the issue. Braving heavy rains, hundreds of youth from Katra as well as adjoining Panchayats of Reasi district came on road with tri-colour in hands and raising slogans against drug mafia.
The rally, which was flagged off by Head Priest of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine, Pujaari Ameer Chand, started from New Bus Stand, Katra and after passing through new and old bazaars of Katra, culminated at new Fountain Chowk, Main Bus Stand of the holy town. Number of prominent citizens was also present during the flag-off ceremony. Team Jammu, an organisation of young professionals, social activists, sports persons, doctors, journalists, educationists, educated un-employed youths and intellectuals, has taken the initiative to get the Jammu rid of this menace.
Zorawar Singh Jamwal, Chairman of the Team Jammu, asserted that they would take their war to the logical end with the support of the people. “The way people, especially the youth, are coming forward in our campaign has encouraged us”, he said and reiterated commitment of the Team Jammu to liberate youth of Jammu region from the yoke of drugs.
Exhorting the youth to single out those who are responsible for spreading this menace in Jammu region, Jamwal maintained that it was high-time to expose those who, for some petty financial benefits, are playing with the lives of the younger generation.
Jamwal further said that on the one hand terrorism is playing with the lives of the common masses while on the other hand it is drug mafia which is spoiling youth of Jammu region. “Those who are supplying drugs to youth are also anti-national and they should also be booked under sedition charges to give them strict message”, he said and added that spoiling younger generation of the State is also an act against nation.
