Mizoram Tourism Service Association Supports Reappointment of Retired Director Amid Protests
The Mizoram Tourism Service Association (MTSA) has supported the state government's decision to reappoint retired officer R. Lalrodingi as Director of Tourism, amid protests by the student group Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) that blocked access to the department. The MTSA clarified that Lalrodingi's appointment, a promotional post requiring specific qualifications, would not hinder promotions or job opportunities for current officers or qualified candidates. The government initially appointed her to dual roles but briefly revoked the tourism director charge following MZP's objections before reinstating it.
