Kamalanagar, 5th February 2025: Dg.

Laikaw, CEM of the MADC, Puhpa N. Viakhu, Chairman of MADC, Dg. Mohan Chakma, Chairman of CADC, and Shri Devesh Kumar, BJP Prabhari of Mizoram, along with other MDCs and senior CADC officials.
In his inaugural speech, Dg. Molin Kumar Chakma described the event as a significant milestone in the formation of a new Executive Committee under the leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He called for cooperation from all political parties, NGOs, and intellectuals to ensure effective governance and progress in the region. He also announced the appointments of Dg. Kalasoga Chakma, Dg.
