| BJP CADC Delegation Meets Mizoram Governor, Seeks Equitable Staffing for Autonomous Councils

Aizawl, 16th September 2025:
A delegation of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), led by Shri Durjya Dhan Chakma , accompanied by Shri Molin Kumar Chakma, State Vice President, Shri Purna Muni Chakma, Treasurer, Shri Uday Tongchangya, Secretary, and Shri Amiyo Bikash Chakma, Secretary, called on His Excellency, the Hon’ble Governor of Mizoram, General (Dr.) Vijay Kumar Singh, PVSM, AVSM, YSM (Retd) at Raj Bhavan, Aizawl, to deliberate on pressing developmental issues of the CADC.

| BJP CADC Submits Representation on Poor Road Conditions and Incomplete Works to Mizoram PWD

Kamalanagar, 15th September 2025:
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), has raised strong concern over the deteriorating road conditions and non-execution of sanctioned works within CADC. A delegation led by Shri Durjya Dhan Chakma, Former CEM & District President, along with Shri Molin Kumar Chakma, Former CEM, CADC, and Shri Purna Muni Chakma, Treasurer, BJP CADC, submitted a detailed representation today to the Engineer-in-Chief, Public Works Department, Government of Mizoram, Aizawl.

The memorandum highlighted two pressing issues:

1. Non-execution of SASCI 2022–2023 Works (₹500 Lakhs):
Despite funds sanctioned under SASCI for road blacktopping projects—₹250 Lakhs for Kamalanagar Town, ₹150 Lakhs for Borapansury, and ₹100 Lakhs for Longpuighat—nearly 70% of the works remain unfinished, especially in Kamalanagar and Borapansury. The dilapidated condition of roads, filled with potholes, has caused immense hardship to the public. BJP CADC cautioned that if these sanctioned works are not executed, the party will be compelled to file a case with the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Mizoram.

2. Non-maintenance of Chhumkum to Chawngte Road:
The World Bank-funded road, considered the lifeline of the region, has deteriorated drastically within a short period due to substandard construction—particularly the Lungrang South to Chawngte stretch. The BJP CADC urged the State Government to immediately reconstruct and properly re-blacktop the road to restore safe connectivity.

Through this representation, BJP CADC made a strong appeal to the Mizoram Government for urgent intervention to ensure the completion of sanctioned works and the reconstruction of vital roads, emphasizing that the issues directly affect the daily lives and welfare of the people of CADC.

| Dangu Drishya Muni Chakma Unanimously Elected as New President of All India Chakma Students’ Union

New Delhi/Guwahati, Sept 14:
In a noteworthy development for the Chakma student community, the All India Chakma Students’ Union (AICSU) has appointed Dangu Drishya Muni Chakma, two-term former President of the Arunachal Pradesh Chakma Students’ Union (APCSU), as its new President. The decision came during an emergency meeting convened today under the chairmanship of the Senior Vice President, Bipul Chakma, and attended by Presidents of Tripura Chakma Students’ Association (TCSA), Central Mizoram Chakma Students’ Union (CMCSU), Arunachal Pradesh Chakma Students’ Union (APCSU), along with representatives from various affiliated bodies and advisors.

The meeting was necessitated following the formal request of Dr. Shyamal Bikash Chakma, outgoing President of AICSU, to step down due to increasing professional, social, and personal commitments.

After extensive deliberations and consensus, the house unanimously entrusted Dangu Drishya Muni Chakma with the leadership of the apex student body. His appointment marks a new chapter in the Union’s journey—reaffirming its commitment to safeguarding the rights, welfare, and unity of Chakma students across India.

The Union also expressed heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Shyamal Bikash Chakma for his invaluable contributions and exemplary leadership during his tenure, extending best wishes for his continued guidance and support in the future.

This transition reflects AICSU’s dedication to strengthening the collective voice of Chakma students at the national level while drawing inspiration from the sacrifices and vision of past leaders.

| BJP CADC Submits Representation Over Abnormal Electricity Bill Hike in Kamalanagar

Kamalanagar, 15th September 2025:
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), under the leadership of Shri Durjya Dhan Chakma, Former CEM & District President, along with Shri Molin Kumar Chakma, Former CEM, CADC, and Shri Purna Muni Chakma, Treasurer, BJP CADC, has submitted a strong representation to the Engineer-in-Chief, Power & Electricity Department, Government of Mizoram, Aizawl.

The appeal comes in response to the sudden and abnormal surge in electricity bills across Kamalanagar Town, the headquarters of CADC. Residents and institutions have reported drastic hikes ranging from five to eighty times higher than usual charges. Alarmingly, some households have even received bills amounting to ₹47,000, plunging families into distress and uncertainty.

In their submission, the BJP CADC leaders have placed two key demands:

1️⃣ Immediate inquiry into the abnormal billing issue.
2️⃣ Exemption of all inflated bills within Kamalanagar Town.

The situation has caused deep concern among the residents, many of whom are struggling under the sudden financial burden. The BJP CADC has urged the state authorities to take swift and corrective action to provide much-needed relief to the people of Kamalanagar.

| Mass Protest in Aizawl Against FCAA 2023: Civil Society Demands Reversal of Resolution

Aizawl, September 11, 2025: A massive protest rally was staged on Thursday in front of Vanapa Hall, Aizawl, as the Joint Civil Society of Mizoram (JCM) voiced strong opposition to the Forest Conservation Amendment Act, 2023 (FCAA 2023), recently adopted by the Mizoram Legislative Assembly on August 27.

The rally drew a large crowd and featured speeches from prominent activists and leaders, including Ruatfela Nu, ZR Thahmingliana of Mizoram First (MF), Joseph Hmingropuia from the Centre for Environment & Social Justice (CESJ), Dr. Vanlalsiama Chhangte of Mizoram Transformation Movement (MTM), along with representatives of opposition parties.

Speakers condemned the state government for endorsing the Act despite earlier resistance. Ruatfela Nu recalled that Chief Minister Lalduhoma, while in opposition, had strongly rejected the amendment. “Yet, after assuming power, his government endorsed the very Act he once opposed,” she said, calling it a betrayal of public trust.

The protesters demanded that the state revoke the August 27 resolution and convene a special session of the Assembly to reconsider the issue. Several major civil society organisations also joined the rally in solidarity.

Later in the day, JCM issued a statement thanking the public for their support and participation, while also apologising for an incident where an effigy of Chief Minister Lalduhoma was burned. The organisers clarified that the act was not part of the official programme and disassociated themselves from it.

The rally marks one of the strongest civil society responses in recent years, reflecting deep concerns over the environmental and political implications of adopting FCAA 2023.

MCSU Launches Fundraising Drive for Library-Cum-Coaching Centre to Empower Students

Kamalnagar, September 12, 2025:
The Central Mizoram Chakma Students’ Union (CMCSU) has issued an appeal for donations and contributions towards the establishment of a Library-cum-Coaching Centre at its General Headquarters in Kamalanagar-I, CADC.

Since its inception, MCSU has been committed to the welfare of Chakma students, focusing on education, awareness, and empowerment. In line with this mission, the Union has taken up the new project aimed at creating a centre of learning and preparation for competitive exams, while also offering free or subsidized coaching assistance to aspiring students.

The proposed centre will provide access to books, study materials, and a dedicated reading space to nurture academic excellence among the youth. Community leaders, intellectuals, former MCSU members, principals, and well-wishers have been called upon to extend their support, either financially or through material donations such as furniture, books, and other essentials.

MCSU highlighted that even the smallest contribution can make a meaningful difference in shaping the academic dreams of the students. Donations can be made through the Union’s official bank account or via GPay.

“With your kind support, we can create an academic environment that uplifts our community and opens new opportunities for generations to come,” the Union stated in its appeal.

The CMCSU remains hopeful that well-wishers from near and far will join hands in this noble mission of empowering the Chakma youth through education.
