JAMMU, Jun 16: Social activist and Patron of Maharishi Dayanand Gaushala and Swami Shraddhanand Gurukul Jammu, Chandan Datta, met Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Anantnag, IPS officer Amod Nagpure, and congratulated him for his dedicated efforts in combating the drug menace in Jammu and Kashmir.
During the meeting, Datta praised Nagpure’s consistent and determined approach towards law enforcement, particularly his initiatives against drug trafficking and substance abuse during his postings in Budgam, Baramulla, Udhampur, and now Anantnag.
He said that the officer’s commitment, professionalism, and strong work ethic have been evident since the beginning of his service in Jammu and Kashmir. Datta noted that the firm action taken against drug peddlers by SSP Nagpure would significantly contribute to the success of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s ongoing “100 Days Nasha Mukt Abhiyan” campaign aimed at making Jammu and Kashmir drug-free.
Drawing a comparison with senior IPS officer Shailendra Mishra, presently on central deputation, Datta remarked that Nagpure’s dynamic policing style, humility, and dedication towards his team reflect qualities similar to those displayed by Mishra during his tenure in Jammu and Kashmir. He observed that both officers have demonstrated a commitment to supporting their personnel while taking decisive action against criminal networks.
During the interaction, SSP Amod Nagpure informed Datta that all necessary arrangements have been put in place to ensure the smooth conduct of the forthcoming Shri Amarnath Yatra. He said special emphasis has been laid on the safety and security of pilgrims and expressed confidence that this year’s pilgrimage could surpass previous participation records.
Nagpure reiterated that the police administration remains fully committed to serving and facilitating devotees undertaking the annual pilgrimage.
Datta appreciated the policing initiatives undertaken by SSP Nagpure and wished him continued success in serving the nation with dedication and integrity.
He also briefed the SSP about the proposed Tawi Riverfront Aarti initiative in Jammu, which aims to promote tourism and provide an enhanced spiritual and cultural experience for pilgrims and visitors during the Amarnath Yatra period.
The meeting concluded with discussions on public welfare, community participation, anti-drug awareness initiatives, and measures to strengthen tourism and social harmony in the region.
