Imphal, November 13 2016:
A mass rally against drug abuse was organised today by Kekrupat Minuthong Development Committee (KMDC) from Minuthong to Khuyathong turning point and back again.
According to the Committee, different types of drugs like heroin, tablets, opium, brown sugar, are easily available all year round in and around the area of North AOC, including hotels and restaurants, where these drugs are being distributed or sold without any restrictions.
The committee accused the authority of turning a blind eye towards the drug trafficking business adding that even non locals were involved in the process.
The women wing (Women Action Committee) under the KMDC has been undertaking raids and drives along the Khuyathong Traffic Point, North AOC, Chingmeirong and Minuthong areas, the committee said, urging the people to support the women wing in the battle against trafficking and abuse of drugs.
