Imphal, July 21 2020:
Concerned over reports of security agencies confiscating loads of illicit drugs on a daily basis in the State, the All Manipur Youth Protection Committee (AMYPCO) has urged the State Government to toughen its "war on drugs" campaign.
In a statement, AMYPCO said people are worried and concerned over the news reports of security agencies confiscating loads of illicit drugs on a daily basis in the State and questioned on how these drugs are being smuggled inside the State when the borders are sealed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Who are the kingpins of the arrested ones? Strict legal actions should be taken up against those individuals," AMYPCO urged.
"Many powerful and influential persons found involved in drug smuggling related cases is also a matter of great concern," it added.
