Imphal, October 05 2013 : "It is better for all those are thinking of getting rich from drug trade to die instead of allowing them to live.

They are the untouchables and scourges of the society", Education Minister Moirangthem Okendro has stated.

Speaking as Chief Guest of the centenary observation of the academic awareness programme on prevention of drug abuse and illicit trafficking, which is being spearheaded by All Manipur Anti-Drug Association (AMADA), at Comet School, Changangei Uchekon here today, Okendro said that no one should support or feel compassion for the drug smugglers.

Observing that the problem of drugs in Manipur is a serious issue that needs to be tackled urgently before the entire younger generation falls into the death trap, the Minister advised the students to stay away from drugs, saying that prevention is better than post-mortem.
