As the world observes the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (World Drug Day) 2026, this year’s theme, “World Drug Problem: Persisting Issues, New Challenges, Innovative Responses,” highlights the urgent need for sustained and coordinated efforts to tackle one of the most serious public health and social challenges of our times. The observance coincides with the ongoing 100-Day Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan, which has generated significant awareness across communities. Encouragingly, there is a visible change in public attitudes.
