Aizawl: Chief Minister Lalduhoma and the Mizoram Resource Mobilization Committee met in Aizawl to overhaul the state’s fiscal and administrative structure. They backed the push for a separate High Court, a move aimed at honoring the 1986 Mizoram Peace Accord while trimming long-term costs.
The committee wants smaller government. They flagged plans to cut orderly personnel for police and reduce household staff for senior officials. These changes aim to tighten budgets across the board. The group described the move as a major step toward "fulfilling the provisions of the 1986 Mizoram Peace Accord" while improving how citizens access justice.
District offices face major shifts. The panel suggested converting rural development offices into planning wings under the control of Deputy Commissioners. They also plan to audit staffing needs while keeping a close eye on the books. Doctors under the state payroll will now face stricter monitoring to ensure they meet the requirements for their non-practicing allowance.
Officials also focused on the Right to Public Services Act. This covers 197 services that must hit strict delivery deadlines. Finally, the committee turned to revenue. They plan to monetize industrial plots in Zuangtui and tax sand and stone extraction to fill the state coffers.
