BARAMULLA, KUPWARA: Police organized a series of outreach and awareness programmes across North Kashmir’s Baramulla and Kupwara districts. These initiatives focused on raising awareness about newly enacted criminal laws, drug abuse prevention, community policing under Thana Diwas and building stronger relations with nomadic communities.
An awareness-cum-quiz competition on the new criminal laws was held at Government Higher Secondary School, Pattan. The event began with informative lectures delivered by SDPO Pattan and SHO Pattan, who highlighted the key provisions and significance of the recently implemented laws. A lively quiz competition followed, in which three student teams participated enthusiastically. The winners were awarded trophies and certificates, while a memento was presented to the Principal of the institution as a token of appreciation.
In addition, Police Station Kupwara, Police Station Kralpora, Police Station Sogam and Police Post Bazar actively conducted awareness drives, public meetings, and interactive sessions in their respective areas.
A comprehensive drug abuse awareness programme was also organized at Government Higher Secondary School, Khore Sheerabad, Pattan. The event aimed to sensitize students about the harmful effects of substance abuse and the importance of leading a drug-free life. A specialized team from the Police Drug De-Addiction Centre, Baramulla, educated students on the early signs and symptoms of drug abuse and elaborated on the centre’s role in rehabilitation, counselling, and reintegration of victims into society.
Furthermore, an interactive session was held with the nomadic community at Brathpathri Behak, Lachipora Bijhama. This initiative aimed to strengthen coordination between the police and nomadic populations residing in remote, higher-reach areas that typically lack regular access to policing services.
Thana Diwas was also observed in both Baramulla and Kupwara districts, with active participation from various community representatives. Police officials assured the public of their full cooperation, support, and commitment to ensuring peace and security. Emphasis was laid on the importance of mutual trust, coordination, and vigilance in maintaining law and order in the region.
