G. R. Beigh Memorial Foundation to Launch Three-Day Mega Medical Camp in Kishtwar as Part of Anti-Drug Awareness Initiative
Srinagar, 24 July 2025:
Continuing its unwavering commitment to a drug-free society, the G. R. Beigh Memorial Foundation is organizing a three-day mega medical camp in Kishtwar as part of its ongoing Nasha Mukht Bharat Abhiyan, an awareness campaign launched three years ago.
The program, which has extended its reach across both Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, and into educational institutions in Punjab where a large number of Kashmiri students study, reflects the foundation’s firm resolve to curb drug abuse through education, medical support, and community participation.
The event will be flagged off from the head office of G. R. Beigh Memorial Foundation in Bilal Colony, Soura, Srinagar at 10 AM on 26th July 2025, in the presence of Mr. Qazi Sarwar, Director Urban Local Bodies Kashmir, and Mrs. Nighat Siddiqui, Chief Patron of the Foundation. Together, they will see off the dedicated team of doctors, paramedical staff, journalists, and Hussaini Khidmatgaar volunteers who will lead the campaign in Kishtwar.
The mission will be headed by Mr. Ishtiyaq Beigh, senior trade union leader and Chairman of the G. R. Beigh Memorial Foundation. In a symbolic act of commitment and solidarity with victims of addiction, Mr. Beigh will undertake a barefoot march in Kishtwar, raising awareness about the alarming rise of drug abuse among the youth.
The Foundation is deeply grateful to the District Administration of Kishtwar, especially the Deputy Commissioner, for their wholehearted support and cooperation in facilitating this medical and social intervention.
