Imphal, May 15 2023:
Federation of Indian NGOs Working in Drug Abuse Prevention (FINGODAP) has strongly condemned the burn-ing of "Mangal Drug Treatment Centre for Female Drug Users" located at Torbung Mayai Leikai in Churachandpur district on the night of May 13 by some anti-so-cial elements.
Ina release, Federation co-con-venor Maharabi Singh informed that the centre is the only female drug rehabilitation and treatment centre in Churachandpur.
Torching of the centre after 10 days of outbreak of violence reflects primitive characteristics of the perpetrators, the Federa-tion said and appealed to all CSOs and community leaders to restore peace at the earliest while urging the government to give protection to such drug treatment centres.
