Imphal, January 31 2021:
Urging the Government to take the drug haul case of 2018 to a higher Court for retrial, a sit in protest was staged today at Konthoujam Mamang Leikai organised jointly by Konthoujam Mamang Leikai Women Society and CADA.
Addressing the gathering, secretary of CADA Salam Premchand stated that it is unfortunate that the Government has not paid any heed to the demands of the people urging the Government to move the drug haul case of 2018 to a higher Court for a fair and transparent trial.
In order to restore the faith of the public in judiciary the Government should appeal the case to a higher Court for retrial and provide befitting punishments to the culprits, he added.
At the end of the protest, slogans like 'Punish the drug dealers', 'Don't mock War on Drugs' etc were raised.
