Genesis of Operation Salvage
Drug abuse in Naga areas can be traced to the colonial era when a few tribes used opium as a way of life, it was however confined to only a few tribes. Until 1983, drug addicts in the Naga areas used only opium. From 1984, the number of heroin addicts shot up drastically. While the wealthy family members were the first casualties, it did not take long for the other section of the people to follow suit. While many died of overdose, some were killed, and others were tortured or ostracized and sent to jails. Conscious that unless a self-sacrificing organization comes about, nothing could be done. It is at this juncture that the operation salvage came into being as a response to families coping with drug addicts and society struggling under the grips of drugs. Operation Salvage was started in the year 2003 for drug and alcohol abusers in the Naga society. Besides helping and enabling the clients from Naga areas, Operation Salvage has catered to clients from other Northeastern states.
