Stating that playing lagao has ruined many people in Nambol areas, Chaokhat Khongthang Apunba Nupi Lamjing Lup, Nambol Bazar Women Vendors’ Association and Development and Protection, United Voluntary Organisation Nambol have banned the game at Nambol areas.
A joint statement issued to the press stated that locals in mass number and regardless of gender are in playing the game in the localities along Nambol side causing many unwanted incidents.
Lamenting that many corrupt police personnel have given a free hand to play the gambling game by collecting money from the dice rollers, the organisations also sought support from the local clubs, civil organisations and womenfolk in banning the game along the area.
