Continuing its firm commitment towards building a drug-free society under the ongoing Nasha Mukt J&K Abhiyan, Srinagar Police carried out a comprehensive inspection drive targeting chemist shops and druggist establishments located in the vicinity of hospitals across the district.
During the drive, Police teams conducted detailed inspections of stock registers, sale and purchase records, valid licenses, and other mandatory documentation at various establishments.
The primary objective of the exercise was to identify irregularities and curb the illegal sale or misuse of pharmaceutical drugs, particularly controlled and prescription medicines that may contribute to substance abuse among the youth.
Officials reiterated that any violation involving the illegal possession, sale, or distribution of controlled substances will invite strict legal action under the relevant provisions of the NDPS Act.
Srinagar Police further emphasized that such inspection drives will continue on a regular basis as part of sustained efforts under the initiative to ensure accountability, promote lawful practices, and safeguard public health and safety.
Shopkeepers were advised to maintain proper records, strictly adhere to prescribed norms, and extend full cooperation with inspection teams.
