“The government has capitalized on the popularity of local entertainment avenues through musical concert as well as sports activities,” Mein said and added that the music belted out is for serious social cause.

“Such programme not only helps to spread the message of love, care and compassion to the people who are affected with HIV but also creates awareness to the general populace in the state in regard to mode of transmission and method of prevention,” the deputy chief minister said.
