Mizoram: Amit Shah To Inaugurate New AR Complex In Zokhawsang

AIZAWL: According to Tuesday's announcement made by Chief Minister Zoramthanga, on March 17, Assam Rifles' new Mizoram complex will be officially opened by Amit Shah,

 According to the CM, Shah will officially open the AR complex in Zokhawsang, close to Aizawl.

During the most recent assembly election, which was held in November 2018, the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) had the relocation of the Assam Rifles camp from the centre of Aizawl to Zokhawsang, about 15 km away from the city, as one of its main priorities.

The Assam Rifles were ordered by the Union Home Ministry in February 2019 to move their battalion headquarters to Zokhawsang by May 31 of that year. Two Assam Rifles bases are located in the centre of the city, in Zodin and Khatla, the oldest paramilitary organisation in the nation. Amongst the two, one which is being moved is Zodin’s. 

In November of last year, Zoramthanga met with Amit Shah and explained to him that the Assam Rifles camp's ongoing transfer was causing delays in the state capital's infrastructure projects.

Sercchip Battalion of 23 Sector Assam Rifles, under the supervision of Inspector General of Assam Rifles (east), recovered and seized six Burmese Python snakes. The seizure was made in Mizoram’s Zokhawthar district on 16th February, Thursday.

Based on a prior secretive information, a team was formed by Assam Rifles which later initiated a search operation in the area. Furthermore, the AR team arrested four persons in connection with the illegal smuggling.

These individuals are sent for an interrogation process with the authorities in order to extract out more information about the matter. Nevertheless, the recovered exotic snakes are handed over to the Champhai Forest Department

. The trend of smuggling exotic animals and carrying out illegal activities in the state of Mizoram, has become a prime cause of concern for the state administration. This particular trend is mostly registered from the India-Myanmar border.
