All these drug related problems can be solved when there is collective will of all concerned. The Government is expected to act. Similarly opposition parties should show the alertness to check, who else are involved in this illegal trade. Then there should be awareness among the common people. Here arises the question what role media should play to create awareness among the common masses. Awareness will come when the common masses understand the dangers that lie ahead when they understand what their leaders are doing is not acceptable. Well one army officer, who gets six figures as monthly pay could be dragged into the illegal trade. Then there is the story of minister’s family joining this illegal trade. The common people wonder what is happening around us. The fall out of all these wrong doings by higher up is that the VIPs will be checked while leaving common masses free. If you as a man find time to visit religious places what you will notice is that while young male are set free the young girls with bags will be checked. After all it is their creation. They had acted as porter for carrying deadly bombs in their bags. On Janmasthami day all male folk were set free while keeping the women including young girls who came with flowers were checked. It was a pitiable scene. The question is now put to you why you agreed to act in defiance of your own principle. The main issue now is drug. This problem will be solved. Because everybody has shown their willingness to fight against the menace of drugs. Opposition has shown the alertness just as the Government has shown the willingness to act against those involved in the deadly business. Better days are ahead. Everybody has realised the harmful effects of drugs. In the past when Manipur roads were used as lackadaisical routes for supplying drugs to different parts of the world the youths were carriers of all forms diseases. Realisation dawned quickly. Though many lives were claimed by deadly disease, many youths were saved. It happened one fine morning a young man, who is no more now, came to me and asked why it happened his loose motion did not stop even after taking pills. I told him to check his blood. Alas it turned out AIDS. He died within weeks of cheeking his blood. But he was a young man and he had no wife. If he had one the disease would be handed down to his off spring. The problem facing the state has to be seen from different angles. All that has happened in the past few weeks has made all of us realised who is involved in this illegal trade. Therefore massive efforts should be made to check the wrong doing and also to make Manipur a heaven on earth. Everyone has to contribute something. The little you do for the betterment of the society will be known when you show the readiness to do something for the society.
