Mizoram CM Launches Aizawl Core Redevelopment at Former Assam Rifles Base

Overview

• Chief Minister Lalduhoma on March 17 laid the foundation stone, marking the transition from planning to execution.
• The 17-hectare central-core plan includes Aizawl Square, parks, an amphitheatre, a police outpost, a power sub-station and a multi-level parking facility.
• The state allocated Rs 23 crore for a new road and widening of an existing street to be carried out by the Public Works Department.
• The centrally located tract was handed to Mizoram on March 15, 2025 after Assam Rifles shifted to Zokhawsang, enabling civilian reuse through an advisory-led decision.
