The Coalition Against Drugs and Alcohol (CAD A) would observe its 8th Foundation Day on September 18 at 11 am at its head office, Pureiromba Khongnang Makhong, Konung Mamang, Imphal, according to a statement issued by the Secretary of Information and Publicity, CADA.
According to the statement, around 90 percent of the State's population consume one or the other intoxicating substance and this rising consumption poses a great threat in creating a healthy society.
In order to create awareness and educate the people on the ill effects of drugs and alcohol, CADA has been organising awareness programmes, education, drives, sports, counselling and treatment for the past 8 years.
CADA in the statement also invited the CSOs, clubs, organisations, meira paibis, students' organisations and NGOs to attend CADA's foundation day and join hands in fighting against drugs, alcohol and other intoxicating substances.
