Jammu, July 13

Two alleged drug peddlers were detained under stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) in Kishtwar district, police said on Saturday.

The accused were identified as Tousif Qayoom alias “Chadda” and Muzaffer Hussain alias “Dagga” and lodged in the district jail Kathua, a police spokesman said.

He said both are ‘notorious drug peddlers’ and involved in numerous drug peddling cases, making it necessary for the civil administration to order their detention under PSA to safeguard the youth.

Kishtwar SSP Abdul Qayoom said police have chalked out a comprehensive approach to fighting the menace of drugs in the district.

“This includes not only legal actions against peddlers but also community outreach and awareness programs to educate the public about the dangers of drugs,” he said.
