Kakching, April 16 2023:
An anti-drug torch rally was taken out in Sugnu area under the initiative of Anti-Drugs Committee Sugnu AC and Adjoining Areas of Churachandpur, Bishnupur and Chandel District, on Saturday.
The torch rally was led by MLA K Ranjit, who is also the president of the newly formed Committee.
The rally was organised with the aim to prohibit sale and use of drugs in and around Sugnu area.
Speaking on the sidelines of the rally, MLA K Ranjit pointed out that the initiative has been taken up considering the fact that many youths of Sugnu and adjoining areas including Chandel and Churachandpur have been affected by drugs abundantly available in the area due to proximity to Myanmar.
The drugs are easily accessible in these areas as they are being transported from Myanmar to Manipur through various secret routes, he added.
