Mizoram's proximity to Golden Triangle makes its vulnerable to drug trafficking, says CM Lalduhoma

Guwahati: Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma pointed out the state’s proximity to the Golden Triangle, a notorious region for drug trafficking.

Flagging off the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (Drugs Free India Campaign) in Aizawl, the Chief Minister said that this geographical location has led to the frequent inflow of drugs into the state.

He also urged communities to be vigilant and united in their stand against drug abuse, ensuring that Mizo society remains protected from such harmful influences.


Lalduhoma encouraged young people to abstain entirely from drugs, warning that even occasional use is the first step towards addiction.

He further called on those already trapped in addiction to courageously step away and rebuild their lives.

As part of the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (Drugs Free India Campaign), the Mizoram State Level and Aizawl District Level programmes were organised in Aizawl, featuring a “Rally – Fight Against Drugs” with the participation of over 600 students from various schools and colleges.

Two starting points were designated -- Chanmari and Sikulpuikawn -- from where the rally proceeded to converge at Lammual, where the main programme was held.

The Chief Minister flagged off the participants from Chanmari and joined them in the walk to Lammual.

The campaign focuses primarily on creating awareness about the harmful effects of drug use and preventing first-time users from starting. The rally in Aizawl was organised as part of the 5th anniversary of the campaign.
