The Bharatiya Janata Party has promised a drug-free Mizoram, where addiction to narcotic substances has been a major worry for almost four decades now.
The party’s manifesto for the November 7 election to the Mizoram Assembly also focusses on empowering women who outnumber men by 25,956 as voters.
“We will launch the ‘Operation Drug-Free Mizoram’ to curb drug addiction among the youth across the State. We will also constitute a specialised anti-drug task force directly under the command of the Chief Minister,” BJP national president J.P. Nadda said, while releasing the party’s vision document in Aizawl on Friday.
