Imphal, October 18 2012: A 15-day long de-addiction camp organized by Nehru Yuva Kendra, Ukhrul with the joint coordination of AMADA, SHIELD, DSSS/CBDAP, DOULDS, IMA, UBC and CONE kicked off at Shield De-Addiction Centre, Hundung, Ukhrul yesterday.

The inaugural function was graced by Rita Leigaphy, SDO, Ukhrul and M Padmani Leima as Chief Guest and President respectively.

Speaking on the occasion, Rita said that for a drug user to stay aay from drug and come to normal life, he/she has to be courageous, determined and at the same time has faith in himself/herself.

An individual who does not possess these qualities can never come out of the habit, no matter how much counseling he/she undergoes.

Delivering the Presidential speech, M Padmani Leima said that drugs do not differentiate between a poor and a rich or among caste and creed.

As such, both the people of the hills and plains are equally harmed by drugs in one way or the other.

So, it is time for the people of the hills and plains to come together and fight against the menace of drugs in the state.

Around 43 individuals who desire to give up drug habit are participating in the de-addiction camp.
