Man Arrested for Stealing Protected Orchids in Aizawl

In Aizawl, a man named Lalnghatzova got into trouble for taking orchids that are supposed to be protected.

These orchids, like the red vanda which is the state flower, are special and can't just be taken.

An environmentalist, Ruatfela Nu, reported the theft, and the police caught him.

Now, he might have to go to jail for a few years and pay a fine.

The orchids were stolen from an old building that used to be a military place.
