The refugees are mostly from the Chin State and are lodged in relief camps as well as in rented houses. They are being provided with food and other assistance.
Zoramthang, who is on a visit to the national capital until Saturday, also said Shah agreed to visit Mizoram in November to open an Assam Rifles camp at Zokhawsang, about 15 km from Aizawl, at his request.
The chief minister also added that the home minister has yet to fix a date. Moreover, it may be mentioned that the Zoramthanga-led Mizo National Front government has been demanding the relocation of the base.
