Expressing his gratitude to EFI for the award, Lal Thanhawla said he was happy over the acknowledgement given to his ‘little contribution’ for peace and harmony in Mizoram.
The Chief Minister lauded EFI for its missions for peace in the region. He mentioned that during the Kuki-Naga ethnic conflict in June 1992 and that of Dimasa-Hmar in April 2003, EFI leaders stepped out for peace and harmony after the government failed to stem the rot.
