Mizoram, Jan 9: Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga has said that the newly formed Saitual district has great potential to develop in the field of horticulture.
The chief minister said this while laying the foundation stone for the deputy commissioner’s office complex of Saitual district. He also inaugurated a new district horticulture office in the district, in Mizoram.
Zoramthanga said, “Saitual has a great potential to be developed in the field of horticulture. The people should cooperate with the state government so that different governmental projects can be completed on time.”
The government was continuing with development works despite the spread of Covid-19, which hindered the development process in many ways.
CM said that the proposed DC office complex will constitute several departments to help people in visiting government offices.
State power minister and Tawi assembly constituency MLA R. Lalzirliana, who also graced the event, said the state government has sanctioned Rs.10 crore each for the creation of district office complexes for three new districts, including Saitual.
The Mizo National Front (MNF) government headed by Zoramthanga created Saitual along with Hnahthial and Khawzawl districts in 2019.
Before the assembly polls in 2018, the MNF had promised that it would create the three districts if voted to power.
