The third foundation day of Rehabilitation and Child Care Centre, Yaipokpa was celebrated at the Kwakeithel Akham Leikai office of the centre on Thursday.
Speaking at the celebration programme, Manipur SSB Pensioners' Welfare Association former president Thokchom Kunjakeshore pointed out that drug menace has been a big issue in the society, affecting the people and youth in particular.
Taking serious note of the issue, YAIPOKPA rehab centre has been taking vital roles in fighting against drug menace.
Observing that the society will go extinct after sometime if the drug issue is not solved while there is still time, he called for joint efforts in fighting the drug menace and supporting rehab centres working to reform substance abusers.
While stating that drug users should have the will to stay away from addiction, Kunjakeshore called upon all sections of the society to encourage them return to the mainstream instead of stigmatising them.
