The song in local Adi dialogue “WASE ane ngoluk kapnam sim dadiye nolu tatgap bilai, WASE ane ngoluk anki sim takame ngolu minggap gelaju, drugs-kani sim imarung peka, bhang-ganja sim imang rung peka, lutum tatma mil imem supelo, luyang tatma mil bursu kupelo” sends meaningful lines in conveying the youths to avoid drugs-opium, bhang-ganja etc. When the song was released and played, many WASE mothers became emotional and their eyes turned moist, as the song deeply touched the activities of team WASE and their tireless efforts.
The team WASE has been in the fight against drugs and other illicit substances menace from several years back. Their good works have already inspired many other organizations in the state today including the organizations from neighboring Assam.
