Mizoram CM meets Shah, discusses influx of refugees from Myanmar

Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga on Thursday met Union home minister Amit Shah in New Delhi to discuss the influx of refugees from neighbouring Myanmar. In an Instagram post, Zoramthanga said Shah took stock of the situation at the meeting.

Over 30,000 Myanmar nationals have taken shelter in Mizoram since the military seized power there in February last year. The refugees are mostly from the Chin state and are lodged in relief camps as well as in rented houses. They are being provided with food and other assistance.
