Union Home Minister Amit Shah on March 15 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.
“It is a reflection of the Indian government’s commitment to the development of Mizoram. 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.
Shah highlighted that the Modi government has been working tirelessly for the past 10 years to establish new dimensions of development in every sector, from tourism to technology, agriculture to entrepreneurship, and to strengthen and unite the entire northeast.
Shah also underscored PM Modi’s role in establishing unprecedented peace in the northeast, having visited the region 78 times since becoming Prime Minister.
“From tourism to technology, agriculture to entrepreneurship, the Modi government is establishing new dimensions of development in every sector of the northeast. Before Modi ji became Prime Minister, from Independence until 2014, all the then Prime Ministers of India had visited the northeast 21 times, whereas Modi ji has visited the northeast 78 times so far,” he said.
The Union Home Minister assured the people of Mizoram that the BJP-led Indian government is committed to a developed, peaceful, secure, and beautiful Mizoram, with PM Modi personally overseeing this progress.
“I want to assure the people of Mizoram on behalf of the Government of India that the BJP-led Indian government is committed to a developed, peaceful, secure, and beautiful Mizoram, and Modi ji is personally overseeing this progress,” Amit Shah said. This relocation ceremony marks a new chapter in the history of Aizawl’s development, with the first military camp set up in the city in 1890. (ANI)
