Aizawl, March 23: Laltawnliana, president of the Mizoram Youth Congress, on Sunday alleged that Chief Minister Lalduhoma had acquired significant land holdings near major government development zones in the state.

According to Laltawnliana, the chief minister purchased around 25–30 acres of land in Buangpui near Vantawng Falls from five landowners in early 2024. He claimed that the land is located in an area linked to a proposed ropeway project valued at Rs 34.50 crore under the Centre’s Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment scheme.

He further alleged that additional land parcels were acquired from four owners in Kanghmun South in Serchhip district, including areas reportedly cleared for farming in late February. The location falls within the proposed Thenzawl Peace City project area.

Laltawnliana stated that the purchases were linked to ongoing and planned infrastructure projects and alleged that the lands may be transferred to a government department associated with these developments.

There was no immediate response from Lalduhoma or his party, Zoram People’s Movement, regarding the allegations.
