Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma highlighted the state's ongoing struggle with drug-related crimes and increasing child sexual abuse cases.
Speaking at the inauguration of the additional district and sessions judge circuit court in Serchhip, he stated the alarming rate of drug-related cases.
In Serchhip, which borders Myanmar, drug trafficking is particularly problematic, prompting intensified efforts from law enforcement. The state established the Serchhip district circuit court, announced in a November 2024 notification, but faced delays due to staffing and infrastructure hurdles.
Since June, proceedings began via video conferencing. Now, with a functional courtroom, the court is fully operational to handle these pressing issues.
