Aizawl: Chief Minister Lalduhoma moves a resolution this Thursday to make Ro Min Relsak Ang Che the official Mizoram state song. The House plans to adopt the measure following member debates. The state Cabinet greenlit this formal designation during an August 10 meeting.
Renowned Mizo writer and composer Rokunga wrote the song in 1947. Its title translates to Be Thou our Counsellor. The Mizo National Front declared it their anthem during the insurgency era. It has acted as a de facto anthem for decades despite lacking official status. In 2022, the MNF-led government ordered schools to sing it daily. An official noted: "The resolution is expected to be adopted by the House following deliberations among the members."
Lawmakers have a busy schedule. The Assembly session also covers two amendment bills and new legislation. This includes The Mizoram (Land Survey and Settlement Operation) Bill, 2026. The House intends to pass these measures before adjourning sine die Thursday evening.
