A forgotten 1984 newspaper report warned that brown sugar had begun affecting youth in Kashmir. Today, as Jammu and Kashmir intensifies its anti-drug movement, the archival account raises questions about whether early warnings were ignored.

Hidden in an old newspaper archive lies one of Kargil’s most unusual forgotten stories. Recounted by former Circle Inspector D P Sharma and published in Daily Excelsior in 2000, the account revisits a disturbing investigation from 1964 that stayed with the officer for decades. Preserved by Kashmir Rechords, the story opens a rare window into policing, memory and the mysteries that once travelled silently through the mountains of Kargil.
