Union HM Amit Shah to inaugurate new Assam Rifles complex in Mizoram on March 31

During his visit to the state, Shah will also lay the foundation stone for the ‘Laldenga Center" in Aizawl
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to visit Mizoram where he will inaugurate the Assam Rifles complex at Zokhawsang on March 31, a senior state government official said on Friday.
Chief Minister Zoramthanga had told reporters last month that Shah will visit the state for the program on March 17.
“The Union home minister’s visit has been rescheduled to March 31. However, the itinerary is yet to be confirmed by the Ministry of Home Affairs,” the official said.
Shah will inaugurate the Assam Rifles complex at Zokhawsang, about 15 km on the eastern outskirts of Aizawl.
Relocation of Assam Rifles base from the heart of Aizawl to the designated camp at Zokhawsang, about 15 km on the eastern outskirts of the state capital, was one of the top agendas of Zoramthanga led MNF government in the last assembly polls held in November 2018.
In February 2019, the Union Home Ministry had directed the Assam Rifles to shift its battalion headquarters to Zokhawsang by May 31 that year.
During his visit to the state on March 31, Shah will also lay the foundation stone for the ‘Laldenga Center” in Aizawl, set up in Aizawl in memory of former state chief minister and Mizo National Front (MNF) founder Laldenga, an official of the state home department said.
However, the purpose of the ‘Laldenga Center” is still not clear.
