SRINAGAR: The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Shri Manoj Sinha, today felicitated senior officers and personnel of the Special Security Force (SSF) in recognition of their outstanding professionalism, unwavering dedication, and exemplary service in ensuring the successful conduct of the 100-day Drug-Free Jammu Kashmir Campaign.
Addressing the gathering, the Lieutenant Governor lauded the SSF for adding a remarkable chapter to the administrative and security history of the Union Territory through its courage, vigilance, and exceptional operational competence. He observed that the Force has established itself as a symbol of discipline, professional excellence, and steadfast commitment to duty.
Highlighting the significance of the Drug-Free Jammu Kashmir Campaign, Shri Sinha described the initiative as a transformative endeavour aimed at mobilising society against the menace of drug abuse. The campaign was launched on April 11, 2026, with the objective of fostering collective responsibility and strengthening public participation in the fight against substance abuse.
It is pertinent to mention that the campaign featured an extensive Padyatra led by the Lieutenant Governor across all 20 districts of the Union Territory. The initiative served as an important platform for direct engagement between the administration and citizens, reinforcing public awareness and encouraging collective action towards building a drug-free Jammu and Kashmir.
Appreciating the SSF's pivotal role in facilitating the campaign, the Lieutenant Governor underscored the Force's meticulous security planning, seamless inter-agency coordination, and effective crowd management arrangements across diverse geographical terrains and challenging operational conditions.
“From urban centres to remote rural areas and mountainous regions, the SSF maintained the highest standards of security while facilitating meaningful public interaction,” he said.
The Lieutenant Governor also extended his best wishes to all SSF personnel and their families, expressing confidence that the Force would continue to uphold the highest traditions of service and discharge its responsibilities towards the nation with courage, honour, and unwavering commitment.
