Mizoram Chief Minister Appeals for Support and Peace Bonus
Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday to discuss the state's pressing challenges. He highlighted the need for a "peace bonus" as Mizoram is denied security-related expenditure (SRE) despite maintaining peace.
Lalduhoma stressed the importance of continued central support, particularly in addressing the welfare of approximately 41,000 displaced people from Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Manipur. These individuals require food, shelter, and education, placing a significant strain on the state's limited resources.
The Chief Minister also raised concerns about poor internet connectivity in Mizoram, which has hindered the implementation of new criminal laws. He urged the Ministry of Communication and IT to develop a solution to address this issue.
Furthermore, Lalduhoma pointed out severe shortages in law enforcement resources, including police department vacancies, insufficient vehicles, and lack of funding, which are affecting overall performance.
He emphasized that recognizing and incentivizing Mizoram's peaceful status would encourage other states to follow suit, promoting peace and stability throughout the country.

🤷♀️ Addressing the plight of displaced people shouldn't be conditional on receiving a reward. It's a humanitarian obligation.
