Aizawl, Jul. 17 Noting that 20 years if insurgency had crippled development, Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla today said no disruptive element would be allowed to act as an impediment to growth.
"Unless we take up infrastructure development in earnest we will remain backward as 20 years of insurgency had obstructed us to undertake developmental works while the rest of India was moving forward," he said on the event of the 'home coming' of 64 militants of Sinlung People's Liberation Army (SPLA) here.
The militants gave in to authorities along with their arms and ammunition.
Mentioning some of the infrastructural projects in the state, Thanhawla said that the government is going ahead with the Multi Modal Transport Project linking the state with Sittwe port in Myanmar and construction of railroad up to Sairang, about 30 km from Aizawl city.
