Imphal, September 02 2022:
Holistic Vista Substance Use Disorders Treatment Centre organised a Networking Programme with Law Enforcement Agency and CBOs' at its programme hall in Ningthemcha Karong on Friday.
The programme was attended by Imphal West SP Ksh Shivakanta as chief guest, Treatment Centre's chief functionary Lalit Sapam as president and Working Women Group general secretary Hijam Ranjeeta as guest of honour.
Speaking on the occasion, SP Shivakanta expressed concern that the number of drug users in the age group of 15-30 years has increased significantly in the state, thereby not only threatening the future of the youth themselves but of the society as well.
As such, he urged those staying at the Rehabilitation Centre to take advantage of the treatment being provided to them and try to stay away from drugs to become a better version of their selves.
He further urged those who are leaving the Centre after successful treatment to help other drug users recover from addiction.
As part of the programme, Working Women Group handed over bed sheets to functionaries of the centre for use by the inmates.
