Mizoram govt denies capital relocation rumours

August 06, 2025

The Mizoram government has strongly refuted speculation that it is planning to shift the state capital from Aizawl to Thenzawl in the Serchhip district.

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE AIZAWL, 5 AUGUST

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.
