BJP Alleges Mizoram Government Delays Salary and Fund Releases to Autonomous Councils

The BJP unit of the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) has accused the Mizoram Government of delaying the release of pending salary dues and quarterly funds for the 2025-2027 period, causing a financial crisis affecting CADC employees and administrative functions. The BJP claims Rs 6,377.79 lakh in unpaid salaries over five months and alleges discriminatory treatment of the three Autonomous District Councils under the Sixth Schedule. A memorandum was submitted urging immediate financial assistance, while the BJP rejects claims that excess recruitment caused the crisis, citing structural funding issues instead.
