Mizoram facing financial constraints, Rs 3,500 crore due from Centre: CM Zoramthanga

India TV News  

Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga on Friday said that his government cannot work as it wishes as the Centre was unable to provide funds of Rs 3,500 crore to the state during the last three years. Addressing the annual conference of the Mizoram Engineer Service Association at Berawtlang in Aizawl, the Chief Minister said that the Centre was unable to provide funds during these years due to the pandemic. "As we have been severely impacted by these problems and constraints, we can't do what we want to do and make new recruitment. Mizoram has been blessed with natural resources and a good climate, he said, urging engineers to give their best to transform the state into a land of self-reliance.
