Assam’s Mizo community want to be part of Mizoram

An organisation of Mizo communities living in two valleys in Assam’s Karimganj district on Tuesday told Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma they want to be a part of Mizoram. The Thangram Indigenous People’s Movement (TIPM) leaders, during a meeting held here, told Lalduhoma that their communities, culture and religion would be most secure and protected if their area was included inside Mizoram, a leader said on condition of anonymity.

The TIPM, which represents the Zo indigenous people of the Singla and Langkaih (Longai) valleys, urged Lalduhoma to take steps to ensure that their villages and inhabited areas are merged with Mizoram, the leader said.
