The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) on Friday urged the state government to speed up the implementation of a policy drafted under the Drug Reduction Elimination and Action Mission (DREAM) for ensuring a drug free Meghalaya.
CM Conrad Sangma said that the operational cost for the implementation of DREAM is ten crores per annum which works out to fifty crores for the next five years. “Different rehabilitation centers and detoxification centers will be established and NGOs will be financially assisted for treatment and rehabilitation and outreach programs,” he said.
