Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma inaugurated the Thenzawl Peace City Celebration at Thenzawl Bazar Veng on Monday, marking the start of Mizoram’s first planned Peace City. Addressing the gathering, Lalduhoma emphasized the town’s potential as a future-ready, peaceful city, stating, “Thenzawl Planned City is not intended to compete with Aizawl but to provide Mizoram with a peaceful, well-organised and future-ready modern city.” The Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has already sanctioned ₹10 crore for Master Plan preparation, covering 108 sq. km with an aim to accommodate up to 10 lakh people. Community leaders and state officials hailed the project as a fulfillment of long-cherished local aspirations and a milestone for Mizoram’s urban development journey.
