With a total population of 1,091,014 (552,339 males), Christian-dominated Mizoram has 40 assembly seats.

Over 300 diseased pigs culled in Mizoram

AIZAWL: At least 243 pigs that were identified to have been affected with the dreaded Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) have been culled in Mizoram'sAizawl district in the last one month, an official of the state animal husbandry and veterinary department said.

Animal husbandry and veterinary director L B Sailo said pig-owners voluntarily culled the affected animals after veterinary doctors warned them that the disease might spread. Sailo said another 58 pigs were culled in a government-owned farm at the Selesih village near Aizawl after they were found to be infected with PRRS.

The affected animals included those that had been distributed by the state government to beneficiaries under the New Land Use Policy (NLUP) "At least 100 pigs reared under the NLUP were reported to have been affected and culled," the official said. The government may provide further assistance to the beneficiaries.

Sailo said on the Centre's instructions, officials are running tests on at least two per cent of the total population of pigs in the state to estimate the spread of the disease. The state veterinary department has been taking bio-security measures and also sealed the Mizoram-Myanmar border.

Chopper service in Mizoram helps people

AIZAWL, August 19: Mizoram Aviation department officials have stated that helicopter service in the State, has been a great help to the people. The chopper service is especially helpful in taking patients to city hospitals in case of emergency and on way back to home from the hospitals, said the officials.

Pawan Hans has been giving the chopper service here since August 14, 2012. During the past one year since helicopter service began in Mizoram, it has been chartered (due to medical emergency) 21 times, out of which 20 times were within Mizoram, while once was to Guwahati, Assam, the officials reported.

At present, chopper service is rendered to 10 places in the State - Champhai, Khawzawl, Serchhip, Hnahthial, Lunglei, Chawngte, Lawngtlai, Saiha, Mamit and Kolasib. Out of these, Champhai, Lawngtlai, Saiha and Mamit are recorded to have comparatively more passengers, informed the Aviation officials.

Aviation officials then said, "New helipads will be constructed in Champhai, Saitual, Thenzawl and Mamit with Rs. 92 lakhs being the 1st installment of the fund sanctioned by DoNER." The amount has also been handed over to state PWD, and the work is expected to begin soon, the officials added.

The helicopter service in Mizoram was inaugurated on August 14, 2012 by Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla, with the inaugural flight to Lunglei on the very first day. From August 21, 2012, the hired Choppers started rendering service to different parts of Mizoram. So far, Mizoram government has paid Rs. 1.04 crore to Pawan Hans in May, being dues of rental charge up to December 2012; about Rs 2 crore dues yet to pay. Since helicopters are not allowed to be stationed (at night) at Thuampui helipad, but at Lengpui airport only, the expenditure over the chopper service is therefore soaring high, sources said.

The helicopter service, although it has the capacity of 11 passengers in a singly flight, allows to carry only 6 passengers at a time, since Mizoram is located at a very high altitude from the sea level. One ticket costs Rs.50 per minute. As of now, 10 routes have been arranged for the service, with Aizawl Thuampui Helipad being the "Main Operational Hub’, from where it will render service to Saiha (50 minutes), Lawngtlai (50), Champhai (25), Khawzawl (20), Lunglei (30), Kamlanagar (45), Hnahthial (30), Serchhip (17) and Kolasib (15).

As per schedule, the chopper renders its service for 6 days in a week. Tickets are available at the deputy commissioner offices in the eight districts of Mizoram. Since safety is the main concern, security duty and fire service has been provided at each helipad. The helicopters can be hired or chartered personally, for which the rate will be Rs.70,000 per hour, waiting charge free up to 45 minutes but if it crosses the limit the waiting charge will be Rs. 10,000 for every 30 minutes.

Former MNA members warn of Fresh Mizo Uprising

AIZAWL, Aug 21 : The former Mizo National Army (MNA) members have warned of a fresh Mizo uprising if the government of India continues to avoid implementing the Mizo Peace Accord in full. Former Mizo militants have taken their woes to the President of India.

Under the banner of Ex-Mizo National Army (MNA) Association, the former Mizo militants in its memorandum submitted to President Pranab Mukherjee have demanded for the full-implementation of the Mizo Peace Accord signed in 1986.

Addressing a press conference today in Aizawl, the former militants said in the memorandum submitted to the President of India, they demanded for the establishment of a separate High Court of Mizoram and Annulment of pending criminal cases charges against the Mizo National Army cadres. There are criminal cases still pending against three former Mizo National Army cadres in the state of Manipur.

One of the accused Sgt. Lalzarliana became mentally derange due to the pressure from the court cases and the fear of imprisonment. It is worth mentioning that Ex- MNA demanded Rs 15 lakhs each for their rehabilitation or a permanent job for their family members, the EX-MNA Association stated.

The Ex- MNA Association then demanded from the Central government to fulfill its obligations and warned that in the event of the failure to fulfill their demand, any fresh Mizo uprising in future, will be the sole responsibility of the government of India.

Further, Ex- Mizo National Army Association had approached the governor of Mizoram, Vakom B. Purushothaman to request him to pursue the matter on June 18, 2013. However, the governor did not come forth in this regard.

The former Mizo militants under the banner of Ex-Mizo National Army (Ex-MNA) Association had staged protest rally in Aizawl on August 8, in order to show their resentment against the non-implementation of all the promises made in the Peace Accord between the government of India and Laldenga led Mizo National Front (MNF) way back in 1986, and also against the Mizoram Governor’s unfavorable reply to the Association when approached for help.
