The denial came in response to political uproar triggered by a letter from the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, which mistakenly suggested a capital relocation—something the state government insists was merely a clerical error.
The controversy was ignited when the Opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) claimed that the Centre had acknowledged a proposal to move the capital to Thenzawl, the home constituency of Chief Minister Lalduhoma.
