Mizoram Governor Extends Rule in Chakma Council Amidst Political Instability

Mizoram Governor Vijay Kumar Singh has extended Governor's Rule in the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) for another six months, citing ongoing political instability and frequent defections by elected members. This decision overrides the Council of Ministers' advice to allow a claimant to prove their majority. The Governor cited the need for further extension pending an inquiry commission report and the continued shifting of allegiances among members. Governor's Rule was first imposed in July last year due to similar instability following the removal of a BJP leader from the Chief Executive Member post.
