Manipur: CM Biren Singh appeals against poppy plantation, illegal drug business

Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh has made a strong appeal to those involved in poppy plantation and illegal drug business to shun all such activities considering the destructive effects of these acts on the society.

He also warned of stronger actions against anyone found involved in these illegal actions. Speaking at a press conference held at his office chamber last evening, he informed that the government will not make any compromise at any cost in the War On Drugs campaign.

Citing an incident of seizure of poppy seeds in the border area of the State recently wherein vehicles of Myanmar made were involved, the Chief Minister raised doubt as to whether Myanmar nationals were involved in these illegal activities.
