Mizoram: Indefinite NH blockade in Kolasib lifted after negotiations

Aizawl: The indefinite blockade on National Highway -306 imposed by a group of landowners in north Mizoram’s Kolasib district was lifted on Saturday following the intervention by Central Young Mizo Association (CYMA), a leader said.

Over 1,700 private landowners along the stretch of NH-306 and NH-6 between Vairengte and Kawnpui villages had staged an indefinite strike blocking incoming vehicles at Vairengte village from Thursday. 

The landowners have been demanding compensation for their lands be damaged by the proposed widening or 4 laning of the national highways.
