There are some parents and individuals quietly shedding tears as they watch young people drive up and play their car stereo as loud as they can and begin to drink some beer /hard liquor. This happens almost every day. If you ask where this place is, it is the State Stadium by the DC court junction. It is about the only place in Dimapur city where one can run and do a bit of exercise or play with your children. Even before 4 P.M. young boys and girls are getting their cars lined up for their great alcohol experience and perhaps sex on the sly. Our authorities are aware of this favourite haunt by the boozers. We would like to remind the Excise Commissioner's Office and the DC office that the state stadium is hardly half a kilometer from your offices. We still have a law that says alcohol is prohibited in the state of Nagaland. The state stadium is about the only place with space to breathe freely and have an open sky that young and old can come for walks or jogging or a little game of football with friends. We the Watchman are requesting young people to not drink and cause bad behavior in the State Stadium. We would also like the authorities that are in place to patrol around the area. The public is asking for security as is the case that when people are drinking there is obnoxious behavior whether it is fights or teasing of girls. We are also requesting the government and that the concern minister and youth and sports department to look into improving this beautiful open space so that our precious young can spend their energy in sports and healthful activities. If we leave it idle it will become a Devil's playground. So we are requesting those that are in authority right now that can do something to take the initiative. It will save our youth in the long run.
