Mizoram govt mulls ‘Mizoram House’ in Bangalore

Bangalore, Mar 30 : Another ‘Mizoram House’ is likely to come up in India’s IT capital Bangalore, according to Bangalore Mizo Association (BMA) annual report statement released here.

“On February 22, 2009 Deputy Speaker of Mizoram Assembly Pu John Rotluangliana, and Bangalore-a BMA leaders held a meeting during which the modalities of having Mizoram House was discussed,” the BMA report said.
