Jammu Police City South Zone took a decisive step forward in community engagement by hosting an awareness-focused PCPG meeting in Rajiv Nagar today, February 26. The event spotlighted the grave dangers posed by drug traffickers and addiction, fostering a platform for residents to collaborate with officers on solutions.
Presided over by SP City South Jammu, alongside key figures like the Bahu Fort Police Station SHO and PP Narwal head, the session resonated with local participation. Neighbors expressed alarm at the proliferation of drug networks, which are increasingly hooking vulnerable youth and sowing seeds of discord in families.
Officers validated these fears, stressing the multifaceted perils of substance abuse—from lethal health consequences to broader societal ills like escalated offenses and domestic strife. They outlined punitive measures under law and called for public vigilance in spotting and reporting anomalies.
Concerns extended to nocturnal mischief by reckless youth and disruptive outsiders, endangering female and child safety. Swift reassurances followed: bolstered patrols, specialized evening units, and rigorous enforcement against violators. As the SP put it, ‘Mutual trust and cooperation form the bedrock of crime prevention.’ This gathering signals a renewed push for a vigilant, united front against narcotics in Jammu.
