A total of 19 drug users including a female and mostly minors rounded up by the outfit were paraded before the media somewhere in Thoubal district on Tuesday during which a spokesperson of the RPF declared that the Front and its armed wing PLA will take suitable action and punishment if drug abusers, traffickers and drug lords fail do not halt anti-social activities.

It is the responsibility of everyone in the society to make it strong and solid, the spokesperson said and appealed to CSOs, Meira Paibis and youth clubs to support the outfit's anti-drug movement.
