Chief Minister Lalduhoma presented a new 21-seater minibus to the Shalom Special School in Serchhip, bringing much-needed transportation assistance to the institution dedicated to educating children with disabilities. The school, run by the Shalom Spastic Society, received the Force Traveller bus during a handover ceremony at the school premises, followed by a celebratory function at the New Serchhip YMA Hall.

Chairman of the Shalom Spastic Society, Vanlalchhunga, provided a brief overview of the school's history during the function, while Captain Vanlaltharzuala offered a dedicatory prayer for the new vehicle.

Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Lalduhoma emphasized the government's commitment to supporting education for children with disabilities. He praised the dedication of those working to help these children, describing them as a blessing to Mizoram. He also acknowledged the contribution of the 19 Assam Rifles, who constructed the school building in 2011 and continue to provide food supplies.

The Chief Minister revealed that the bus was not funded by the government, but was purchased through the generosity of private donors who recognized the school's needs. He described his role as simply facilitating the donation. He then extended an invitation to the school to visit his residence using the new bus.

Shalom Special School, established in 2005, currently has 32 students and three volunteer teachers. The donation of the bus will significantly improve the school's ability to provide essential services to its students.

Admin
Calling people "militants" or "terrorists" without confirming which militant organisation they belong to is deeply irresponsible, especially in Northeast India's sensitive context. Unfortunately, many media house in the region, have adopted this style of reporting. Belonging to a certain ethnic group does not make one a "Militant" or a "terrorist" These labels are powerful and can be harmful if used wrongly. Even if a news source uses these terms, journalists should be careful and use quotation marks to show they haven't independently verified the information. This simple act shows respect for the complexity of the situation and avoids making unfair generalizations. It's about being accurate and ethical, not just repeating what others say.

YMA Lends a Helping Hand to Widow and Ailing Daughter in Khawzawl

The spirit of community shone brightly in Khawzawl as the Zuchhip Branch of the Young Mizo Association (YMA) rallied to support a widow and her daughter battling cancer. Lalsangpuii and her daughter, Lalnuni, have faced immense hardship due to Lalnuni's prolonged illness. Unable to work and facing mounting medical expenses, they found themselves in a desperate situation, struggling to even harvest their rice crop.

Hearing of their plight, the local YMA branch sprang into action. A heartwarming 73 members turned out for a hnatlang, a traditional Mizo community work party, to harvest the family's entire rice field.

For those unfamiliar with the YMA, it's a remarkable philanthropic organization deeply ingrained in Mizo society. From assisting the vulnerable to promoting education and preserving cultural heritage, the YMA consistently works to uplift communities across Mizoram. This act of kindness in Khawzawl is just one example of the countless good deeds carried out by the YMA, showcasing their unwavering commitment to the well-being of their people. Let's celebrate this inspiring story of community support and the power of working together!

12/11/2024

Manipuri media outlets are reporting that the Bishnupur district unit of the Federation of Haomee (FoH) has filed a complaint against Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma for his recent alleged remarks in the United States regarding "the creation of a unified nation for the Chin-Kuki-Zo people". The FoH, alleges that the Chief Minister's statements threaten the territorial integrity of Manipur and India as a whole.
According to reports, the FoH submitted a memorandum to Manipur Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya, Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, and the state police, urging them to take legal action against Lalduhoma. The complaint centres on speeches delivered by the Mizoram Chief Minister in Maryland and Indianapolis in September, where he reportedly discussed the integration of Mizo-Kuki-Chin communities into a single nation.
The FoH argues that these statements violate the oath of office taken by Lalduhoma and are unconstitutional. They have called for legal action under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including those related to the abetment of offences within and outside India, endangering national integrity, waging war against a foreign state, and promoting enmity between different groups. Specifically, they cite Sections 47, 48, 152, 153, 154, and 196 of the BNS.
This latest development adds further tension to the already strained relationship between the two states amidst the ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur. So far neither the Mizoram state government nor the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made any significant comment on the allegations. It is important to note that, Lalduhoma in his speech calls for the collective unity of Mizo people and their kindred tribes under the Union of India and make no specific mention of Manipur's political establishment.

12/11/2024

The Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP), a prominent Mizo student organisation, has issued a strong condemnation of the escalating violence in Manipur, specifically denouncing the "brutal killing" of a 31-year-old Hmar woman, Zosangkim Hmar, in Zairawn village, Jiribam District. The MZP alleges that "Meitei extremists" are responsible for the killing, describing the act as "animal-like behaviour" and "barbaric."

The organisation's statement, released from its headquarters in Aizawl, expresses deep distress over the ongoing ethnic tensions, which they say have persisted for over 19 months. The MZP also mourns the loss of 11 Zo men from the Hmar community who according to their release died fighting against "unwarranted aggression" by the "majority community" in Jakhradwar, also in Jiribam District. They paid tribute to the deceased.

The MZP's statement goes on to accuse the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) of failing to maintain neutrality and contributing to the violence. They allege that the CRPF's actions have "tarnished the image" of both the Indian government and the Manipur state administration. The statement further claims that the CRPF will be remembered by the Zo people as "perpetrators of violence," and urges the Ministry of Home Affairs to take immediate action against the personnel involved.

The MZP has demanded an immediate cessation of violence and called upon the Indian government to take decisive action to control these groups and ensure the safety and security of all people in the region.

10/11/2024

In a unique effort to conserve the Tuichang River’s aquatic life, the Hnahthial Bazar Branch of the Young Mizo Association (YMA) has set up advanced CCTV cameras along the riverbank. This project launched following a directive from the YMA’s Sub Headquarters, aims to protect the river’s ecosystem and promote the sustainable use of its resources.

The cameras are high-tech, motion-sensitive devices with 4G connectivity, capable of streaming real-time footage directly to the YMA. They are also powered by solar energy, making them both eco-friendly and affordable. With remote access to the camera feeds, YMA members can monitor the river from afar and respond quickly if any suspicious activity is detected.

In Mizoram, the YMA plays a hands-on role in protecting local rivers and wildlife. Members from various branches sometimes stay up all night by the water to guard spawning fish, deter illegal fishing, and maintain the health of these precious ecosystems.

The Hnahthial Bazar Branch YMA has declared the section of the Tuichang River between the Motor Kai area and Khuangbawnga Suar a protected zone where catching aquatic life is strictly prohibited. However, fishing is allowed between Khuangbawnga Li and Thlengpui Rek, as long as fishers avoid using unauthorized gear. Violators who fish in restricted areas face confiscation of their gear and catch, a fine of Rs. 3,000, or even formal reporting to authorities.

Through efforts like this, the YMA is working hard to ensure that Mizoram’s rivers remain vibrant and full of life for future generations.

09/11/2024

The Mizoram Pradesh Youth Congress Committee (MPYCC) issued a statement condemning what it described as a "brutal attack on our Zo brethren in Zairawn village, Jiribam District, Manipur, by the Meitei extremist group Arambai Tenggol." According to the MPYCC’s press release, the attack involved the burning of 17 homes and the death of Mrs. Zosangkim Hmar, who the Committee said was "brutally r***d and burned to death." The Committee extended its condolences to Mrs. Zosangkimi’s family.
The MPYCC criticized Mizoram’s current government, led by the Zoram People's Movement (ZPM). The Committee expressed disappointment with the ZPM’s perceived inaction, noting that nearly a year into office, the current government had also "not taken any significant action" to address the plight of the Zohnahthlaks.
The MPYCC pointed to a statement made by K. Sapdanga, then Working President and now Home Minister in the ZPM government, during a November 2023 press conference at the Aizawl Press Club. Sapdanga had stated, “If, after our government is formed in Mizoram, and NEDA continues to allow attacks on our ethnic brethren, we will not be able to restrain ourselves and just watch from the sidelines. We hope we will not be blamed if we take at least appropriate measures to help our ethnic brethren.” The statement further mentioned that Sapdanga had also added, “Even after this great hardship meted out to our ethnic brethren by the BJP-supported Meiteis, the two main people expected to visit the state, who have yet to do so, are PM Narendra Modi and CM Zoramthanga.”
The Committee highlighted that "Home Minister K. Sapdanga himself has not visited Manipur to address the attacks on our people," which it described as a "disappointment to the public" and an indication of “a lack of commitment.” The MPYCC added that this could suggest a “covert connection between ZPM and BJP.”

“Even if the ZPM government is unable to stand up to the BJP government in Manipur, the Congress youth will take steps.” In its statement, the MPYCC announced plans to visit the affected areas in Manipur to hold a remembrance and funeral for Mrs. Zosangkim.

The Mizo National Front (MNF) has expressed profound grief and condemnation following the tragic death of Mrs Zosangkim Hmar, a 31-year-old mother of three, in what it describes as a heinous crime by "Meitei miscreants" in Zairawn village, Jiribam District, on the night of November 7. According to the MNF’s press release, the attack included an attack on the village and the assault and murder of Mrs. Zosangkim, wife of Mr. Ngurthansang Hmar.

In its statement, the MNF extended condolences to Mrs. Zosangkim’s family, including her husband and young children, Franky Lalchawisang (3), Victoria Laldomawi (9), and Lalringdik (7). “We pray for the departed soul of Mrs. Zosangkim Hmar and extend our condolences to her family. May they find strength and comfort in this difficult time,” the release read.

Reflecting on this and other recent acts of violence, the MNF described the incident as a major setback to hopes of peace and co-existence in the region. The party called for urgent action to bring those responsible to justice,

The MNF also called for unity and resilience among Zo people worldwide, urging them to come together in solidarity during these challenging times. “This is a time for all Zo people to stand together in commitment to brotherhood and resilience,” the statement emphasized, reiterating the MNF’s commitment to peaceful collaboration and community support.

In a press release issued Friday, the Hmar Inpui, apex body of the Hmar tribe in Manipur, reported a devastating attack on the village of Zairawn in Jiribam district. According to the statement, 'Meitei militants' launched the assault on November 7, 2024, at approximately 9 PM, setting fire to 17 homes and killing 31-year-old Zosangkim Hmar, wife of Ngurthansang Hmar, in what the group called “a brutal act of violence.”

The Hmar Inpui General Headquarters stated that the attackers captured Mrs. Zosangkim and her three young children: Franky Lalchawisang (age 3), Victoria Laldomawi (age 9), and Lalringdik (age 7). The release recounted the horrific sequence of events, stating that Mrs. Zosangkim was first shot in the leg to prevent her escape, then subjected to r**e and torture before being burned alive. The organization described the discovery of her charred remains, with fragments of her brain lying nearby, as a “haunting testament to the brutality she endured.”

“This attack is part of an eighteen-month spree of ethnic violence,” read the Hmar Inpui statement, which labelled the assaults as an ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing by "Meitei militants". “This barbaric act serves as yet another chilling reminder of the relentless ethnic-cleansing campaign ... that has terrorized our people without mercy for eighteen months.”

The Hmar Inpui called on its community to unite in defense of their lives, lands, and dignity. “Mrs. Zosangkim’s sacrifice is a call to action to unite” they declared.

In a significant electoral victory, the Mizo National Front (MNF) party and its ally, the Hmar People's Convention (Reformed) (HPC-R), have emerged as the clear winners in the Sinlung Hills Council (SHC) election, securing seven out of the 12 seats.

According to the election results announced yesterday, the MNF-HPC (R) alliance won in the constituencies of Zohmun, Sakawrdai South, Vanbawng, Saiphai, Ratu, North Tinghmun, and Sakawrdai North. The alliance's impressive performance has given them a significant majority in the council.

The Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) and HPC alliance also made a strong showing, winning three seats in the constituencies of Suangpuilawn, Phuaibuang, and Saipum. The Indian National Congress (INC) managed to secure one seat in the Khawlian constituency.

The election, which was held peacefully, saw a voter turnout of 71.69%. The results were announced after the votes were counted at the constituency headquarters.

However, the result for the New Vervek constituency is still pending due to a re-poll being conducted. The outcome of this constituency will be announced once the re-polling process is complete.

The Sinlung Hills Council election is seen as a significant indicator of the political mood in the region, and the MNF-HPC (R) alliance's victory is expected to have a major impact on the local political landscape.

In the US presidential election, Republican candidate Donald Trump has surged ahead, securing victories in over 30 states, including crucial battlegrounds like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina. As the night wears on, Trump's electoral vote tally has climbed to 267.

Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has notched wins in 20 states, but her path to the White House appears increasingly narrow. With voting now closed and ballots being counted across the country, the tension is palpable as Americans await the final outcome.

The early voting numbers were staggering, with over 82 million citizens casting their ballots ahead of Election Day. As the counting continues, Trump's strong showing in swing states has put him in a commanding position. A win in just one more state would propel him to the presidency, making him the 47th President of the United States.
