Drug abuse in Ladakh, particularly among the youth, has become a rising concern. The region’s remote nature and the lack of recreational activities often contribute to substance abuse. To combat this growing problem, the Ladakh Police have intensified efforts to educate the public about the dangers of drugs and provide rehabilitation services for those affected. The police, in collaboration with local NGOs, organize awareness programs in schools, colleges, and villages to highlight the long-term health consequences of drug use.
In addition to awareness campaigns, the police have established rehabilitation centers where individuals struggling with addiction can receive counseling and support. The focus is on reintegrating drug users into society through vocational training and community-based programs. The Ladakh Police continue to work towards breaking the drug abuse cycle by offering assistance, monitoring high-risk areas, and ensuring the implementation of stringent laws against drug trafficking.
