Mizoram body writes to Pranab for health centre

After having exhausted all options to get a redressal following non-functioning of a government primary health centre in a tribal area for over two decades now, the Mizoram Chakma Development Forum has finally knocked at the doors of President Pranab Mukherjee.

“The primary health centre at Borpansury has been idle for over 20 years. The poor Chakma tribals have to either pray to God or travel 10-12 hours on the bad road to Aizawl to see a doctor...,” wrote Paritosh Chakma, general secretary of the forum, in a memorandum to Mukherjee.
