Mokokchung, 20 June (MTNews): In a significant development in Nagaland’s ongoing battle against drug trafficking, the Mokokchung Police apprehended five individuals during a routine vehicle checking operation at the IOC Sungkomen Ward on Monday, June 19, 2023. The accused persons, identified as Imotongdang, Impojong, Akumsashi, Moazulu, and Moakumzuk, were found to be in possession of suspected Brown Sugar/Heroin.
This arrest comes as Nagaland declared ‘War on Drugs,’ prompting the state police to intensify efforts to curb the illicit drug trade. The Mokokchung Police have been proactive in arresting drug traffickers and individuals in possession of narcotics. From May 2022 to May 2023, a total of 12 cases were registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act in Mokokchung alone, with 16 individuals arrested. Additionally, in June 2023, including the present case, two more cases have been registered.
According to a report from the Mokokchung Police, the seized contraband (May 2022 to May 2023) included 128.39 grams of Brown Sugar, 651 Spasmo Proxyvon Capsules, 55 Spamonil tablets, 94 Alprazolam tablets, and 129 Buprenorphine Sublingual tablets. These quantities highlight the magnitude of the illegal drug trade in the region.
In 2018, a total of 10 cases were registered under the NDPS Act, followed by 6 cases in 2019, 14 cases in 2020, and 10 cases in 2021.
According to Aien Amri, who has been a counselor in Drug-resistant Tuberculosis (DRTB), Mokokchung for the past four years, the number of drug abusers in Mokokchung has been increasing. She also pointed out that the majority of the clients she encounters are between the ages of 28 and 35 years. However, she also noted that there are many teenagers who are not caught by the police.
“Teenagers often get into the cycle because of peer pressure. The influence from friends is so strong,” she added.
She further said that most of the clients she has encountered are often depressed with their family and life while some feel alienated because they are not accepted by the family or society.
“They are mostly filled with anxiety, psychosis, mood swings, suicidal tendency and so on,” she added.
Meanwhile, Dr Viketoulie Pienyü, associated with the State Mental Health Institute, Kohima, in 2022, also shed light on the link between substance abuse and mental health issues. He stated that approximately 20% of reported mental illness cases in Nagaland are associated with substance abuse, indicating the dire consequences of drug addiction on individuals’ well-being.
Therefore, the Mokokchung Police’s swift action serves as a reminder of the need for collective determination to combat drug trade and its adverse effects on society.
Meanwhile, talking to Mokokchung Times, an addict in recovery said, “I hope that the society will do away with their preconceived notions about addiction and instead focus on learning more about ‘addiction as a brain disorder’ and not stigmatize it or discriminate against the addicts.”

I have observed that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate entrepreneurs, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in most real estate financial transaction, a commission is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers do not “save” the percentage. Rather, they struggle to win the commission through doing a strong agent’s task. In the process, they expend their money plus time to accomplish, as best they could, the assignments of an agent. Those obligations include exposing the home by marketing, showing the home to all buyers, building a sense of buyer desperation in order to induce an offer, making arrangement for home inspections, handling qualification inspections with the mortgage lender, supervising repairs, and aiding the closing of the deal.

Thanks for sharing your ideas with this blog. Additionally, a fable regarding the banks intentions if talking about property foreclosure is that the standard bank will not getreceive my repayments. There is a fair bit of time in which the bank requires payments every now and then. If you are very deep inside the hole, they will commonly call that you pay that payment fully. However, that doesn’t mean that they will not take any sort of payments at all. When you and the standard bank can have the ability to work one thing out, the particular foreclosure practice may end. However, when you continue to neglect payments wih the new plan, the foreclosed process can pick up from where it was left off.
Wow! Thank you! I continually wanted to write on my blog something like that. Can I implement a fragment of your post to my blog?
With every thing which seems to be developing within this specific subject matter, your points of view tend to be rather radical. Nonetheless, I am sorry, because I do not subscribe to your whole strategy, all be it exciting none the less. It looks to everyone that your opinions are actually not completely rationalized and in reality you are generally your self not thoroughly confident of the assertion. In any event I did enjoy looking at it.
I will also like to state that most individuals who find themselves without having health insurance are usually students, self-employed and those that are not working. More than half on the uninsured are under the age of Thirty five. They do not experience they are requiring health insurance since they are young and also healthy. Its income is normally spent on homes, food, along with entertainment. Many people that do go to work either full or as a hobby are not offered insurance via their jobs so they move without owing to the rising tariff of health insurance in the United States. Thanks for the tips you talk about through this blog.
