BJP govt wants safe, peaceful and beautiful Mizoram: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday attended the relocation ceremony of the Assam Rifles Headquarters from Central Aizawl to Zokhawsang, marking a significant milestone in the Indian government's commitment to the development of Mizoram. Addressing the gathering, Shah said that this move is not just an administrative decision but a symbol of the government's responsibility towards the Mizo people. Due to the state's unique topography, the Mizo people have been demanding relocation for over 35 years. "This demand, which has been around for 30-35 years, is now set to be fulfilled due to an important decision by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is not just an administrative decision but a symbol of the Indian government's responsibility towards the Mizo people," he said."In 1890, the first military camp was set up in Aizawl, and since then, this decision will be considered the most significant in the history of Aizawl's development," Shah said.
