GUWAHATI: On World Population Day on Wednesday, Mizoram 's most influential NGO - the Young Mizo Association (YMA) - has advised Mizo couples to birth more children as their population is comparatively sparse in the state and to also counter the Centre's move to amend the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill that seeks to give citizenship to non-Muslim Bangladeshi refugees.Central YMA president Vanlalruata told TOI it is a concept that the association has put forth for the Mizo people. "The church and the society have both started believing that we need to find our own style of family planning, which does not necessarily have to be limiting the number of children but to suit the peculiar situation where the population growth is dipping.
