J&K Civil Society Forum has been on forefront against the drug addiction since its inception and today when people of different political shades have come forward to fight assembly elections and claim to give better representations to people in development and prosperity. JKCSF believes that a society cant be prosperous unless it is cleaned from menace of drugs and other social evils.

"Talking of civic amenities like power, water and roads is good but there are new challenges faced by the society, amongst which the drug menace,social evils and social reformation is listing the number one. If a political party or a politician gives patronage to a drug dealer or an addict, and people with criminal background he is equally responsible for the devastation of this society, and claims of such politicians, for example, for development and prosperity keep no meaning" Wani wowed.
