Myanmar Refugees Enter Mizoram Amid Reports of Chin National Army Recruitment Drives

A recent group of 31 Myanmar refugees entered Mizoram's Hnahthial district, fleeing alleged forced recruitment by the Chin National Army targeting youths aged 13 to 18 in western Chin State. This influx raises the total Myanmar refugee count in Mizoram to 29,691 since the military coup. The new arrivals slightly lowered the state's biometric refugee enrollment completion rate to 96.09%. Enrollment progress varies across districts, with some achieving full coverage, while registration of Bangladeshi refugees continues in Lawngtlai district.
