Imphal: Locals in Binnakandi Part I marched today to stop the drug trade. The Apunba Youth Club teamed up with local Meira Paibis to host the event in Assam’s Cachar district. The crowd moved through the neighborhood carrying placards. They pushed messages like Say No to Alcohol, Choose Life, Not Drugs, and Say No to Drugs, Save Your Future.
Residents want to keep kids away from substance abuse. Adviser Yengkhom Rasbehari Singha told the media he worries about rising rates of alcohol, marijuana, and hard drug use in the area. He claimed the trend is ruining the lives of local teens. “The trend was ruining the lives and futures of many young people, prompting the club to organise the rally to discourage substance abuse and protect the younger generation from addiction,” Singha said.
Engudam Nildhan Singha, another club adviser, stated the goal is to rescue the youth and clear the village of the drug menace. Organizers are now calling for the entire community to work together. They need a united front to keep the next generation safe.
