KKL shuts rehab centre

IMPHAL, Jul 22
Kangleipak Kanba Lup Manipur (KKL) has shut down Rebirth Foundation Centre, a rehabilitation and treatment centre in Thoubal for 15 days following an alleged abuse carried out to a client in the centre.
A press release issued by the secretary, Kangleipak Kanba Lup stated that the news of alleged physical abuse came into light when Drug Addiction and Alcoholism cum Rehabilitation Centres' Forum of Manipur (DAARCFoM) issued a press release on the matter in the local dailies on July 11.
KKL called a meeting at its office in Jupiter Yambem Centre, Paona Bazar to straighten out the matter after the organisation found some evidence while conducting an investigation, it claimed.
The meeting was attended by DAARCFoM, CoNE, DRIM-P and USER Manipur along with the victim (client) and KKL, after hearing the story of both sides, resolved to shut the office for a month.
However, KKL later decided to shut down the rehab centre for only 15 days and gave the responsibility of paying for the victims's treatment to the centre.
KKL appealed and also warned all rehabilitation centres not to repeat such actions in the future.
