Imphal, April 19 2022:
All Manipur Music Association (AMMA) has announced that it would be carrying out various anti-drug campaigns through music to save the future of the state.
Addressing a press meet at Manipur Press Club here on Tuesday, Association secretary Arambam Robindro recalled that since its inception in 1985, AMMA has been working continuously to promote music.
However, the association also takes its responsibility towards the society, especially with regard to anti-drug campaigns seriously.
He said that Manipur is facing a huge problem of drug addiction amongst the youth, starting from students studying in Class VII VIII .
Even young women are getting addicted to drugs.
If this is not put to a stop as soon as possible, the future of the society will be in danger.
Thus, AMMA has decided to carry out anti-drug campaign through music to save the society, he said.
Stating that AMMA's campaign is in support of the government's 'War on Drug' mission, Robindro informed that discussions are being held to commence the campaign from May 7 onwards.
He then said that there is need for collective efforts from all sections of the society for putting an end to the drug menace instead of depending on the government alone.
