Deepsikha Cancer Care Foundation, an NGO working exclusively for cancer patients, has taken the initiative to make the common masses aware about the abuse of tobacco and its harmful effects. With this aim in view, it has opened its first branch of stop tobacco centre in the Deomornoi community health centre recently. The centre aims to provide information, awareness and support to people willing to quit tobacco. The centre also acts as a peripheral information and help centre for people already suffering from or recently diagnosed with cancer in getting the proper treatment in the proper place. The branch was inaugurated by DC, Mangaldoi, Dhruba Hazarika.
