WOKHA — The Lotha Youth Hoho (LYH) has barred two women from entering Wokha district for five years after they were allegedly found selling drugs during a surprise checking operation in Wokha town.
According to LYH, the two women, identified as Aien and Lochilo, were apprehended during the operation conducted in collaboration with Church Colony Youth and Tsumang Youth.
Following the operation, LYH convened a meeting at its office on July 21, during which the organisation found the duo guilty and imposed a five-year ban on their entry into Wokha district.
The organisation stated that whenever an individual is barred from entering the district, a written notification is issued to the concerned colony representatives or village authorities to ensure that local authorities are informed of the restriction.

LYH appealed to the public to report any barred individuals attempting to re-enter the district so that appropriate action can be taken.
Warning drug peddlers against engaging in the illegal trade, the organisation urged those involved to reform before facing punitive measures.
Expressing gratitude to the Lotha Hoho, civil society organisations, and the public for their continued support, LYH reaffirmed its commitment to continuing its drive against drug-related activities as long as it receives the cooperation of the people.
The organisation also appealed to the public to continue supporting the collective effort to keep Wokha free from drugs.
