Imphal, April 25 2021:
MLA of Keirao Assembly Constituency, Lourembam Rameshwor Meetei has today inaugurated a gymnasium 'Salai Taret Gym' at Keirao Bitra and presented it to the youth of the locality.
Speaking at the occasion, the MLA who is also Deputy Chairman of the Manipur State Planning Board, said that youth can be distracted from all kinds of intoxicants and evil habits only when there are adequate gymnasium facilities.
And the new gym, inaugurated today, will surely play a crucial role in attracting youth towards health consciousness and responsibilities.

Drug menace has been wreaking havoc in Manipur for decades and what is more alarming is that rise in substance among women, he said while continuing that the society is on the brink of retrogation with such a situation Encouraging youth towards games and sports is among effective measures to deal with the situation, the MLA said.
He continued that it is unfortunate that some parents, at times, kept concealing and pampering their substance-addicted wards.
There are also many parents who got angry when being intimated about their children's state, he continued with concern.
It should be parents' responsibility to keep an eye on their children's habit and behaviour.
Even if they took the wrong path, the parents should not encourage them and make sure their children are sent to correction or de-addiction centres by approaching relevant club, NGOs or concerned department when there is still time, he said.
