In a fiery stand against the shadows of substance abuse gripping the youth, Pasighat East MLA Tapi Darang has thrown open the doors to the groundbreaking De-Addiction and Rehabilitation Centre under ‘The Sober Society’ banner, right in the lush embrace of Gobo—nestled just 3 km from Tode Village Char-ali near Rani in East Siang District. This non-profit warrior hub, spearheaded by reformed trailblazer and Chairman Shri Mingat Mibang—who’s walked the walk from addiction’s grip—is on a mission to forge a drug-free Arunachal, one transformed life at a time.
Picture a sanctuary that screams second chances: A 45-bed fortress equipped with a 90-day powerhouse program blending medical miracles, psych support, detox dynamos, and holistic healing in a serene, green-wrapped haven designed for soul-soothing recovery. From admin nooks and cozy waiting lounges to dual dorms, staff digs, a 60-seater feast hall, therapy zones, and a dedicated detox den—all under the watchful eyes of 15 CCTV sentinels—this spot is built for breakthroughs, not breakdowns.
Darang didn’t mince words at the ribbon-cutting bash, surrounded by heavy-hitters like East Siang SP Shri Pankaj Lamba (IPS), District Medical Officer Dr. Yagling Perme, ICDS Deputy Director Smty Mailong Taku Padung, JNC Principal Dr. Tasi Taloh, and voices from WASE, Mothers’ Vision, and beyond. He slammed past horrors of shady private ops and custodial tragedies, vowing: “This centre must stand as a home of transformation for our youth—a place of trust, not fear.” With full-throated backing pledged, he’s calling for crystal-clear ops that rebuild faith in these lifelines.
Mibang, the heart-pounding heartbeat of the society, lit up the crowd with raw resolve: “Our mission is to make this centre a symbol of hope and recovery. We dream of a future where such centres are no longer needed—where our youth live free from addiction.” He’s eyeing epic team-ups with gov and social squads to amp up outreach, rolling out therapy blitzes and community crusades that could one day make rehab relics of the past.
This isn’t just bricks and beds—it’s Arunachal’s battle roar for brighter tomorrows, turning pain into power and addicts into advocates. As the Sober Society revs up, the question echoes: Will this spark sweep the state into sobriety? The fight’s on, and the frontier’s fired up!
