Bishnupur, May 13 2019:
As part of its continuous campaign to curb the menace of drugs abuse and alcohol, Coalition Against Drugs and Alcohol (CADA), Bishnupur District Committee in collaboration with Thinungei Punba Meira Paibi Nupi Lup organised a torch rally on May 10 at around 8pm in and around Thinungei.
The rally commenced from Thinungei Keithel, passed through 4 surrounding leikais, and culminated at the starting point again.
The volunteers raised several slogans like "Save our children" and "Stop selling drugs" among others.
Speaking to media persons by the sideline of the rally, one of the volunteers stated that any individual involved in selling drugs and other substance abuses should be punished according to the laws of the land.
Saying that involvement of many teenagers and youth in unethical and unproductive activities like substance or drug abuse has a severe impact not only on the individual, but also on the society as a whole, he appealed the State Government to make drugs related policy at the earliest.
