Imphal, August 17 2022:
Mayaikoibi Mamang Leikai Development Association felicitated award winner social worker Thangjam Joshikanta Meitei during a function held at Mayaikoibi Mamang Leikai community hall on Wednesday.
Speaking as chief guest of the function, Patsoi MLA Sapam Kunjakeshor (Keba) noted that Meetei used to be vibrant and strong community, but now it is in an unpredictable situation.
Earlier, only men indulged in addictive substances, but today women have also become addicted to drugs and other substances.
In such a scenario, the future of Manipur will be bleak if the masses do not lend support to the 'War on drug' campaign initiated by CM N Biren, he said, while urging the people to join hands and save the community.
Lauding awardee Joshikanta for coming out to serve the people and winning laurels for his efforts, the MLA wished success to Joshikanta in all his future endeavours.
The felicitation function presided over by Mamang Leikai Development Association president Nameirakpam Heramani was also attend-ed by RD and PR SNO Kh Ibochouba; International Awardee Ibotombi Khuman; Kanglamei president Y Leirikleima; Kanglei Ima Lup president Rk Sanahanbi; ward no 10 former corporator Salam Tiken and MDU director Pebam Birkumar as guests of honour.
A simple gift was given to Thangjam Joshikanta as encouragement.
