Bishnupur, March 04 2023:
A one-day awareness programme on effects of drugs was organised by Sporting Athletic Youth Association (SAYA), Ngankhalawai on Saturday.
The programme was attended by Moirang MLA Thongam Shanti, SDO Md Ziaur Rahman Bogimayum, SDPO M Noren, ex-Zilla Parishad member M Birchandra Meitei, and SAYA advisory board member L Manikhomba as presidium members, while social scientist Dr Dhanabir Laishram and Childline Bishnupur director Dr L Pishak were present as resource persons.
Speaking on the occasion, MLA Shanti expressed that the 'War on Drugs' campaign launched by CM N Biren is the only way to save the state and its people from drugs and claimed that Manipur would not have suffered so much due to the drug menace if past leaders had taken up such initiatives.
He then appreciated the resource persons for sharing their knowledge during the programme, while remarking that without the CM's campaign, Kwakta might have become a graveyard for drug users.
Thus, he urged all to support the 'War on Drugs' campaign to put an end to the drug menace in the state.
