Mizoram assembly elections 2018: ‘Will relax ILP in Mizoram if BJP comes to power’

Guwahati | Wednesday | 21st November, 2018

Summary:

In Mizoram, where power has always changed hands between Congress and Mizo National Front, many see BJP as the ‘upstart’. At Sairang, we will set up administrative units to grant ILPs and from Sairang to Aizawl, we will set up check gates. Not like Tuirial (hydroelectric project), which Congress built, where only 12% (of the power generated) is for Mizoram. President of the state unit JV Hluna speaks to TOI’s Chandrima Banerjee about what a BJP rule would mean for Mizoram.Development. (The Mizoram government had signed a deal to this effect with the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited, which owns the project.).
