DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 18 : As part of a study tour undertaken to familiarise themselves with the functioning of municipal councils across the North East region, the Chief Executive Officer, Sangliankhuma and Executive Officer, Vanlalsawma of the ‘yet to be formed’ Mizoram Municipal Council, visited Dimapur and Kohima this week.
After intensive interaction with members of the Kohima Municipal Council and the Dimapur Municipal Council, the two visiting officials winded up their tour with a brief press conference at the DMC office in Dimapur.
The delegates informed that despite the Municipal Law having been passed since 2007, Mizoram is yet to have its own civic body.
However, with the election of the civic body likely to be held by October this year, the CEO and his officials are touring different places to study the workings of the civic body in preparation for the forthcoming Municipal election.
Speaking to mediapersons, the CEO, Sangliankhuma, and EO Vanlalsawma expressed their gratitude to the DMC for their hospitality and help rendered during their tour.
“The interactions we had with the KMC and DMC have been a great eye-opener to us,” said the CEO, while adding that this tour would act as the beginning of a new relationship between the two Northeastern states.
Having wrapped up their study tour, the two visiting delegates from Aizawl are scheduled to return home tomorrow after spending their last night at Dimapur under the hospitality of the DMC.
