Mohallah Wise Committee Anti Drug Association general secretary Buyamayum Suhaib has said that 14 youths who were found using drugs during a drive conducted by the association have been put at a rehabilitation centre.
Addressing media persons at Manipur Press Club here on Tuesday, Suhaib said that the association conducted anti-drug drive at different parts of Lilong on Tuesday as part of the government's 'War on Drug' mission initiated by chief minister N Biren.
During the drive, altogether 14 youths, who came out after taking drugs particularly Heroin, were nabbed and all of them were lodged at a rehabilitation centre after reaching an understanding with their family members, he said, adding that the association will bear responsibility for the drug addicts who have no one to take care of, including financial requirement.
While appealing to people to support anti-drug drive being carried out by the association, Buyamayum Suhaib also called for a collective effort to root out drug from the society.
