Imphal, August 31 2022:
Social Awareness Service Organisation (SASO) observed the International Overdose Awareness Day at its conference hall on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, MACS joint director Abhiram Mongjam remarked that a complete ban on drugs would be difficult in reality.
There is hope that there would be a complete cure to HIV/AIDS in the future but drug addiction is seen as an irremovable stain in the society.
In the old days, men were witnessed as the main victims of drug addiction, but now young girls are falling into the trap of drug with many overdosing in plain view.
Thus, there is a need for providing mass awareness in schools, colleges and amongst the general populace in this regard as preventive measures, he asserted.
