Imphal, March 10 2013 :
Demanding that illegal drug traders, including Government officials involved in drug smuggling be arrested and punished according to law, protestors set ablaze effigies of the Chief Minister, Deputy CM and DGP at Heigrujam area of Nambol sub-division today.
Prior to burning the effigies local womenfolk staged sit-in demonstration at Heigrujam Part I community hall during which various speakers demanded that the Government take effective measures to completely check drug smuggling and ensure punishment of the smugglers.
They also expressed strong resentment that relentless campaign by anti-drug organisations to prevent the upcoming generation from falling prey to substance abuse is having little effect due to alleged involvement of Government officials in the illegal trade.
