Banglamung District Officers have been touring communities in their jurisdiction to explain a new scheme to the local residents in the continuing fight against drug use in the area. The officers gathered together community leaders and citizens to explain the White House initiative.
The White House Project calls for mass drug testing in the community. People who tested positive for drugs would have a public notice pinned to the house to tell everyone that this is a home of drug users.
This project has proved to be a positive exercise in shaming the drug addicts and focussing the members of the community on those whose actions are doing harm to their own lives and the lives of others.
