Kashmir mosques to address addiction, suicide, environmental issues

Mosques in Kashmir are broadening their scope to address pressing social issues beyond traditional religious instruction. The initiative aims to tackle addiction, rising suicide rates, and environmental degradation affecting the region.

This expansion reflects efforts by religious institutions to engage with contemporary challenges facing Kashmiri communities. Mosques will serve as platforms for awareness and discussion on mental health, substance abuse prevention, and environmental conservation.

The move signals a shift toward holistic community welfare, positioning religious spaces as venues for addressing multifaceted social concerns in the valley.
