Nasha Mukti Kendra in Kathua

Kathua, often referred to as the “Gateway of Jammu and Kashmir,” is a rapidly developing district, benefiting from industries, agriculture, and diverse culture. However, Kathua has been plagued by a growing issue in recent years — Drug Addiction. The easy access to narcotics, cross-bordered trafficking routes, youth unemployment challenges, and social peer pressure have all contributed to the growing substance abuse problem.
