Centre Waives Rs 5.23 Crore for Vacated Assam Rifles Facilities in Mizoram

The Central government has waived Rs 5.23 crore in depreciated costs for buildings and infrastructure vacated by the Assam Rifles in Aizawl, Mizoram. Chief Minister Lalduhoma had requested the waiver from the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Nityanand Rai. The relocation of Assam Rifles bases from the congested Aizawl city to Zokhawsang began in April 2025, following a Memorandum of Agreement. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had previously attended a function marking this relocation, calling it a milestone for Mizoram's development.
