The Chief Minister of Mizoram, Lalduhoma on Friday held a meeting with Chanchal Kumar, Secretary to the Government of India in the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region, during the latter’s official visit to the state.
The meeting took place at the Chief Minister’s office in Aizawl and focused on a range of development initiatives being implemented in Mizoram with support from the Ministry of DoNER. The Chief Minister reviewed the progress of ongoing projects and raised concerns over several proposals that are still awaiting approval.
During the discussion, Lalduhoma requested early resolution of pending projects of the Mizoram government under the Ministry of DoNER. He also stressed the need to speed up and simplify procedures, stating that delays in approvals and fund sanctions often slow down work on the ground and affect timely completion of development projects meant for public benefit. 
Secretary Chanchal Kumar, while responding to the issues raised, appreciated the recently established Ginger Processing Unit in Mizoram. He observed that ginger is a major source of livelihood for a large number of farmers in the state and that production has been steadily increasing over the years. He added that the Ministry of DoNER attaches significant importance to the processing unit, as it supports farmers and adds value to local produce.
The Chief Minister was accompanied during the meeting by Vanlaldina Fanai, Commissioner and Secretary to the Chief Minister.
