Taking serious note of the menace caused by drug abuse and drug peddling, a series of public meetings was held since February this year and the Anjuman-Islahi-Muahsharah, Kwakta was set up today with a firm determination to fight the drug menace.
The drug menace is so serious that the 4/5 pharmacies located Kwakta Bazar sell not less that 150 disposable syringes of 2 ml in a day and most of the students give up formal education after class X .
There is no contraband drug which is not available at Kwakta.
Kwakta has become a den of drug pushers, drug addicts and other anti-social elements.
Youths from Ningthoukhong, Moirang and Churachandpur are coming to Kwakta for drugs, said Islahuddin.
The meeting held today decided to ban all kinds of drug abuse, drug pushing and gambling in Kwakta area, he added.
