Imphal, April 19 2022:
The All Manipur Music Association (AMMA) has resolved to carry out a drug awareness campaign across the State through music before long.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, AMMA secretary Arambam Rabindra Singh stated that the association decided to carry out the proposed campaign as drug menace has been plaguing the State for many years and to save the younger generation from falling into the grip of drug abuse.
Saying the campaign will tentatively begin from May 7 at Government Music College at Palace Compound, Rabindra added that the exact date for the commencement of the anti-drug campaign will be fixed within 4-5 days.

He claimed that about 80 per cent of the State's population depend on one form of intoxicant or others.
Further stating AMMA resolved to carry out the anti-drug campaign so as to save the youth and the society at large from the drug menace, he said that the association will also meet Chief Minister N Biren Singh so as to take permission to christen the campaign as "War on drug through music" .
The campaign will be performed in different parts of the State to spread awareness about the effect of drug abuse on the community and the individual to as many people as possible, he said.
Though the State Government as well as different organisations such as Coalition Against Drugs and Alcohol (CADA) have been fighting against drugs, the number of drug users and traders seems to be only increasing, Rabindra continued.
Maintaining that drug has killed an overwhelming number of youth in the State and it is easily available in many localities today, he said that AMMA decided to launch the anti drug campaign.
