Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday to discuss the effects of the armed conflict between anti-junta groups in Myanmar on Mizoram, according to an official statement.
During the meeting, Lalduhoma detailed how recent clashes in Chin state forced over 4,000 Myanmarese from border villages to seek refuge in Mizoram. Despite already providing shelter to more than 32,000 refugees since 2021, Mizoram continues to face challenges due to the prolonged unrest in Myanmar.
Beyond the refugee crisis, Lalduhoma and Modi talked about regional development projects such as the Thenzawl peace city initiative, the Aizawl-Serchhip national highway upgrade, and a major piped gas connection project by Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited. The Prime Minister also agreed to inaugurate the new Bairabi-Sairang railway line soon.
