With the excuse of the Diwali festival rampant gambling spread across the city of Haflong without any restrictions.  This has caused serious concern among the conscious People of Haflong they said that this was a serious concern for the young generation. 

‘Jhandi Munda’ is held in different places in Haflong city in the evening.  This gambling goes on till late at night. This gambling den is running rampant in Haflong Rail Colony, Rail Guest House, Bazar, etc.

They demanded strict intervention from the district administration to stop these.  Besides, they demanded to stop soon the rampant business of drugs which started in Haflong.

The Dimasa Mothers’ Association had earlier prayed to the Deputy Commissioner to stop illegal gambling and anti-social activities around Haflong and other adjoining villages.

The Dimasa Mothers’ Association stated ‘it was observed that with the onset of Diwali and Kali puja, many youths are seen openly playing “Jhandi Munda”, and other forms of gambling in and around Haflong and nearby villages thereby polluting the social atmosphere.

Many youths are going astray and are also seen indulging in alcoholism too. Social harmony in those areas is getting disturbed due to these social evils. Parents are worried about their children’s future. If these activities do not stop immediately, there will be ever increasing practices of alcoholism and gambling of all forms in society without any fear of law and order and thus it will gradually engulf the entire society hampering the progress of the youths and thus the district as an obstacle.

Dimasa Mother’s Association, therefore, appealed to the Deputy Commissioner to kindly take a strong view of the matter and use all forces under your august office to control and curtail these illegal activities in these areas. Your kind support can go a long way in restoring social harmony and stemming these evils.
