The Hynñiewtrep Youths’ Council (HYC) has taken the initiative to rehabilitate people and fight against drug addiction.
Two drug users detained by the organisation on May 17 were taken to the Alive Again Foundation rehabilitation centre in Assam accompanied by their families and members of the HYC led by vice president Donboklang Kharlyngdoh.
HYC in a statement said that this is the first step towards fighting the growing menace of drugs in the state. Besides carrying out self raids, the organisation said drug users caught will be sent for counselling. It also assured that its members would be the support system to their families in whatever possible way they could while they are on the road to recovery.
