Mizoram Governor addresses empty ground amid Republic Day boycott call
Deccan ChronicleAizawl: Mizoram Governor Kummanam Rajasekharan on Saturday addressed an almost-empty ground here on the 70th Republic Day, due to a statewide boycott call given by an umbrella organisation against the Citizenship Bill. In his address, Rajasekharan said stringent measures would be taken to protect state borders, and welfare schemes for the development of people residing in border areas would be given due importance. He said measures would be taken for execution of Mizoram Village-Level Citizen Registration, and emphasised that the state government is committed to preserve and promote the Mizo identity, tradition and values. The governor said Mizoram would introduce the Socio-Economic Development Policy, a "holistic inclusive development programme aimed at bringing in socio- economic transformation".
