Vice President Mohamed Waheed Deen has today opened the Regional Drug Rehabilitation Centre in Hithadhoo of Addu Atoll.

Noting the significance of such an institution today, the Vice President advised to utilise to the fullest, those facilities established to protect our children and the youth from the grasps of illegal drugs.

In his speech, the Vice President pointed out that such public institutions actually belonged to the people, and not to the government. He also called on the people, against causing damage to those public buildings, when the government changes.
