Mizoram remembers its men who signed ‘independence declaration’

Aizawl: On March 1, 1966, just a few minutes past midnight of February 28, the Mizo National Front (MNF) led by legendary Laldenga declared independence against India, after launching coordinated attacks on security forces installations in different parts of the Mizo district (now Mizoram) in undivided Assam, which dragged the region into a 20-year-long arm struggle for sovereignty.
