Imphal, March 11 2021:
Expressing the need for a retrial at a higher Court following the recent acquittal of former ADC Chairman, Lhukhosei Zou who was arrested on the charge of drug smuggling, the Sanjenbam Apunba Meira Pajbi Lup and Coalition Against Drugs and Alcohol (CADA) Unit jointly organised a sit in protest at Sanjenbam in Imphal West district, today.
Addressing the gathering, Ningthoujam Doren, vice president of CADA expressed concern with the increasing cases of drug abuse and stated that the people of the State are highly disappointed with the conviction of the driver and helper instead of Lhukhosei Zou, former ADC Chairman.
He stated that the State Government's "War on Drug" has become a joke with the Government not yet taking the case to a higher Court and that the calls for re-investigation of the case from various sections are very reasonable.
Slogans including 'do not demean war on drugs', 'award befitting punishments to drug smugglers' etc were raised at the end of the protest.
