Jammu, July 16,: The District Administration Jammu has sealed an allegedly illegally operated de-addiction centre in the Kunjwani area after officials found that it was functioning without a valid registration from the competent authority.
The action was taken during a late-night inspection conducted on the directions of District Magistrate Dr. Rakesh Minhas.
Officials said the facility, operating under the name “Jivan Ka Ehsaas,” failed to produce valid registration documents required for running a de-addiction centre.
Following the inspection, the administration ordered the sealing of the premises and initiated further action in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.
The district administration has advised the public to seek treatment only at de-addiction centres duly registered with the Health Department to ensure safe and regulated care.
People have also been urged to inform the authorities about any unauthorized de-addiction centres operating in their localities or rented premises so that appropriate action can be taken. [KNT]
