Srinagar: The New Delhi-installed BJP regime in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir has arrested more than 1,000 Kashmiris in just 50 days, using anti-drug operations as a cover for widespread raids, detentions and property seizures across the territory.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, Indian police, acting under the authority of the New Delhi-appointed Lieutenant Governor-led administration, have arrested over 1,000 people between April 10 and May 29 during a sweeping crackdown conducted under so-called \u201cNasha Mukt Abhiyaan\u201d.<\/p>\n
The campaign, launched by non-Kashmiri Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on April 11, has been marked by extensive house raids and search operations. During the drive, authorities arrested 1,018 persons in so-called narcotics-related cases and seized properties worth more than Rs 200 crore on the pretext of taking action against drug peddlers. Official figures show that police attached 89 immovable properties valued at Rs 63.93 crore and demolished 63 properties worth Rs 19.77 crore during the period. In addition, 55 persons were detained under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT-NDPS) Act.<\/p>\n
Observers view the campaign as part of a broader effort to weaken Kashmiris\u2019 political resistance and undermine their economic stability through punitive measures carried out in the name of anti-drug enforcement. They say the large-scale confiscation and demolition of properties have added to the hardships faced by the local population.<\/p>\n
Residents have reported increased harassment during the raids, stating that police personnel frequently conduct intrusive searches, damage household belongings and create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. Some locals have also alleged that money was collected from individuals who were later implicated in fabricated cases. The continuing raids and search operations have disrupted normal life across many areas of the occupied territory, leaving families anxious and communities under constant pressure. According to residents, the recurring crackdowns have become a source of fear and uncertainty, affecting daily routines and social life.<\/p>\n
Observers say the frequent house raids, search operations and reported abuses have evolved into a form of silent terrorism that not only disturbs everyday life but also inflicts deep psychological distress on Kashmiri society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
