Imphal, January 16 2023:
The Kuki Revolutionary Army, KNO/KRA has urged village chiefs and people to join hands with the Government in its war against drugs and help end poppy cultivation.
In a statement, the outfit, which is under SoO (Suspension of Operation) with the Government, said it supports the Government's War on Drugs campaign.
It said, the organisation has never once taken steps to encourage illegal poppy plantation within its operational areas.
Poppy is not the only solution to overcome crisis of poverty.
There are several ways to fight poverty and illegal ways through black business is not the answer to it, said KNO/KRA.
Requesting the village chiefs and all the cultivators to support and joint hands with Chief Minister N Biren Singh in destroying all illegal plantations in the hills "within this coming 3 days", the outfit expressed hope that the war-on-drugs campaign would create a new environment, free from all corruption, and help build a strong and better Manipur.
