Mizoram to sign peace pact with Hmar militant faction
The Chief Minister of Mizoram, Lalduhoma, said that the government will soon sign a peace agreement with a group of Hmar militants.
This group, led by Lalhmingthanga Sanate, has been involved in criminal activities like extortion.
The goal is to bring peace to the areas where the Hmar people live, especially in the northeastern part of Mizoram.
Another group of Hmar militants had already signed a peace deal with the government in 2018.
The Chief Minister also talked about the importance of the Hmar community in uniting different tribes and praised the Hmar Students’ Association for their work.
The government is also focusing on helping farmers and creating new jobs.
Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma announced an upcoming peace agreement with the Lalhmingthanga Sanate faction of Hmar People’s Convention (Democratic).
The agreement aims to restore peace in Hmar-dominated areas of Mizoram, particularly in the northeastern part of the state.
The H Zosangabera faction of HPC(D) had previously signed a peace accord in 2018, leading to the formation of the Sinlung Hills Council.
The Sanate faction is active in Assam’s Cachar district and has been involved in criminal activities, including extortion.
The Chief Minister emphasized the role of the Hmar community in fostering unity among tribes and praised the Hmar Students’ Association for its contributions.
